A solution is being worked on, as i have said earlier, that should take the very last pieces of spam on the lists, but Rome wasn't build in one day and you just don't simply implement things without testing on a production system.

The difference is, that you for yourself can filter spam quite aggressively. On the server that hosts quite a lot domains mail and lists i can not do this. Currently 95% of the spam send to this list is catched by the filters and i'm working on the improved whitelist feature, that should take the last 5%. But until then people will have to live with the occassional spam post.

It works by temporarely rejecting messages (the first time) and allowing the 2. time. usualy spammers dont resend. Greylisting should save bandwidth as well.
