I've put the robots list back on moderation for a while.  It seems that the
last piece of spam was either submitted by a legitimate subscriber or used
forged headers to masquerade as that subscriber.

There's more I can do about this, but it'll take a little time -- I'll be
routing all list messages through the same measures that are working well
for our individual accounts here.

I thought it would be relatively safe to turn off moderation in the
meantime, but obviously not.  Sorry again for the annoying messages.  And I
appreciate those of you who have previously expressed gratitude and
sympathy.  Note that my work on this problem isn't entirely altruistic --
I'm quite interested in spam prevention in relation to reputation systems,
so I'm learning plenty of valuable things.
