Email is still more convenient (for users, when the emails are screened :) I'm trying to think if there is a simple way to filter out the spam. Will this work: since mailing lists require subscription. We can ask the subscriber to define a "signature" string, for example, one's own signature string, with or without decorations, to form a unique signature of one's emails. Then we can write a filter to sit before the SMTP server to look for the unique string for all users. If an email does not contain a signature string of any of the users, it's a spam email. The assumption is that the spam senders won't be patient enough to find out how this filter works.
