Let me tell you how I administer my lists (via majordomo).  The lists are 
configured to only forward messages from either list members or those email 
addresses in a separate approved list.  Any other messages get kicked out 
to me as the list admin.  99.99% are spam and I just delete them.  Those 
that are on-topic are approved for transmission, and I add the source email 
address to the approved list.  Works like a charm.  As WG chair, I'm 
willing to put up with the spam in order to spare the list's members.
Cheers,
Andy
