I do this for the mailing list of the MPLS working group, so I'm aware of
what a nuisance it is. But as far as mailing list management goes, it's not
nearly as big a nuisance as trying to figure out which of the error messages
to owner-mpls are bogus and which are real. (The mailing list has 3000
members and each message to it results in 100 error messages.)
It's not hard to decide whether a particular message is unsolicited
commercial email or not, that's not something that people disagree about.
