Is there a way to whitelist / trust posters. One of the other groups I
follow is moderated, but is set up so that messages from trusted posters
go straight through. The moderator(s) only have to look at posts coming
from untrusted sources and decide whether new posters can be trusted.
Caveat: I don't know how much effort that requires. It just seems like
a possible 4th option (if doable).

I see what you mean. I saw "invite-only" as the option with the most
/discretionary/ effort when volunteers are scarce, since a trusted
member of this community can add a member with a presumably lower risk
of introducing a spammer. Since I'm not going to be available to ban
spammers forever, I'm reading these options in terms of minimizing the
reasons someone has to drop what they are doing to mess with the list.

All,
I've gained administrative privileges over this list to address the spammer. I

Thanks for putting effort into this.
I've been informed that an invite-only approach might not be appropriate, but
without moderation, the only option I see is to change the privacy settings.
Here are the choices Google gives us.
- Invited users only
- Anyone on the web can join
- Anyone on the web can ask

Comments welcome, but note that I do not know the chain of command. If
it comes down to my judgement, please let me know.
Pretty sure I'm not in any relevant chain of command.
