I entirely sympathize with the list moderators here; I moderate several other lists, and the amount of spam coming in has gotten ridiculous. It's not unusual to get 50 spam messages a day on most lists, and even more on lists like wikimedia-l or wik-en-l - or some of the email addresses feeding into OTRS.
I think this comes down to some fundamental issues with filtering of spam at the systems level, and it might be worthwhile to put in a bugzilla to see if better spam filtering throughout the Mailman system can be added in.
