Assuming the A*spammer is a basic algo subscribed to the list, and sending to any sender in a reasonably short time after posting;
Question: Is it possible for the admin to easily backup the list, bisect it, and test for spam? That technique should identify the offending address in log2(N-Users-Subscribed) attempts. If unfeasible, I'd prefer mangling / salting the e-mail addresses of users (if this can be done easily) displayed to thwart bot spammers and still see the names of the poster. I follow interesting 'topics' rather than people, but I think seeing the names of posters up-front is part of the community dynamic that has been built, and makes following the exchanges easier to follow, particularly for longer threads.
