Making it writable to subscribers only in-and-of-itself does not solve the 
problem, but it is one of two things together that will fix the repeated 
spammer problem. The second is removing and banning offenders. Without making 
the list subscriber only there is no way to get rid of spammers. Additionally, 
for your situation, you can filter everything from the list to /dev/null.
