It's also possible to moderate new members such that their first message is flagged and a moderator has to clear that flag upon receipt of the first message. This is why the code quality list doesn't get spam. I'm happy to help with that here too if this list is on MM3 Sent from my phone with my typo-happy thumbs.

[Distutils] Re: Unsubscribing from this list
If we want a one-way announcement list, I'd say we're better off either using pypi-announce (which already has some announcements that aren't strictly about PyPI), or setting up a new packaging-announce list.

[Distutils] Re: Unsubscribing from this list
Another possible middle ground between shuttering the list entirely and maintaining the spam would be (if possible) to close the list to new membership, but keep the existing list in place for the purpose of announcing important changes and things that need community input on the discourse.

[Distutils] Re: Unsubscribing from this list
If it's not already the case, could someone configure the list so that only subscribers can send messages? If we've already got any obvious anti-spam measures like that in place, then I'm starting to agree that the signal to noise ratio has fallen too low. Of the 10 latest conversations in the archive, 5 are spam, 2 are people announcing that they're leaving the list, 2 real questions getting no discussion, and 1 FYI about a discussion happening on Discourse.
