There appears to be a lot of spam on this list at the moment. Most of it
appears to be coming from addresses which probably are not subscribed to the
list.
If the list posting policy is 'open' can it be changed to 'subscribed
addresses' only? This won't stop legitimate posts as there is no reason to
post to the ietf list unless you are subscribed to it, but will stop
the bulk of the spammers.
I've run a lot of lists that way, including some IETF mailing lists,
and it has worked out fine. It stops most spam but does not
inconvenience most subscribers.
