Sean, you have argued my point very eloquently.
For as long as we can assure Virginia that there is a Santa Claus,
there will be newbie subscribers to the list who will send listbound
spam to the list again, and your filters will be powerless to stop
them. You can educate the newbies all you want, but there will be
newerbies to replace them.
Therefore, filters (procmail or otherwise) are insufficient means to
keep from receiving spam on the list. The only defense is to require
subscription to the list before sending material to it.
