Another solution is to have multiple moderator... they will all get the SPAM but the processing of wrongly sended mail to the list will be much faster... (in my case I used a wrong email address to send).

PS: I was one of the victime of a delayed mail: [does Election-methode require e-voting?] from the 4/11/2003, it was an introduction to the list + the very specific question I wanted to ask you all (is hand counting possible).
Since it was the day I joined the list and I did not saw a copy of my post, there was no way for me to know if it has been posted without risking double posting. I saw no answer either (this could have been a hint).
The downside is that it would be nice to make the list open. Doing so would mean that people can still contribute to the list even if they don't want to put their e-mail address into the database.
The main question is to know if the database should be: A secret (except for administrator) B open to the member C open to every-one
If A then there is no reason not to subscribe to the list. ;-)
