You all seem to miss the point. The junk that got through was directed
at the -owner addresses like [email protected] not at
the actual lists.

Another tipp for linux terminal users: there ist a software called
listadmin, wich you can use to moderate very efficiently big amounts of
mailinglists.
If some wikimedia-tech-related list desperately needs a moderator, I
would also volunteer, moderating one more lists… ;)

A couple of thoughts:
There are 3 sections of questions related to reducing spam, at the
bottom of https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mailing_lists/Administ
ration if anyone has tips/answers?
I've added details on a useful greasemonkey script (written by
bd808), that greatly speeds up the moderation process of discarding
spam and adding addresses to the auto-discard list, in a subsection
of https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Administration#Tend_

Totally feel with you. I had to fully auto-reject non-members on
other lists for the same reason.
It would be helpful if more spam would be rejected right away (e.g.
if a message is rejected/explicitely ignored in more than two
mailing lists, you can ignore them elsewhere, too).

Hi everyone,
For quite some time I have been one of the people maintaining and
moderating the different Pywikibot mailman lists. Over time the
amount of junk (spam) coming in through the -owner addresses of
these lists has increased a lot. My impression is that the people
in charge of maintaining mailman are not doing enough to fight
this kind of abuse. I'm so annoyed by this I decided now is a
good time to stop maintaining mailman lists and spend my time on
something more fulfilling.
