Prevention is the best policy IMHO how intensive is a Spam filter like spamassassin. i know someone who has it setup and it filters 1000 emails a min.

Whats being done to prevent spam on the mailing lists?
        I guess - the thing that is blocking spam, is the presence of a set of
list moderators with lots of time, willing to sift and/or approve
legitimate mail from illegitimate mail quickly (ie. within an hour or
so), and reliably (ie. all week around).

I wonder - I pipe my listmail through gmail, and haven't seen more
than 1 or 2 spam mails on this list since day one whatsoever (I also
didn't see the referenced one, only the replies) - how much of that
are other people getting?

Because, with a rate as low as that, clearly there's no point to
call in process-heavy moderation. IMNSHO.
