How about making the lists semi-permeable regarding posting: o subscribed people can post without restrictions o not-subscribed people get a confirmation-request on their post by email and have to send-back that confirmation-request to let their post through into the list. This does not really prevent abuse by spammers, but it makes it uncomfortable to spammers.
