One of the most effective things I've found on the Mailman mailing lists I maintain and host is to restrict postings to list members only. While this does generate some moderation requests when list members post from addresses other than their subscribed address, it also catches many spam/phishing messages that don't cause the spamassassin score to exceed our cutoff score.

Incidentally I'm subscribed to about a dozen other FreeBSD mailing
lists. It's probably not the right place to report this, but these
past few days a lot of spam has hit the other lists too. So, I'll tack

What is the spam format? So far I've not noticed any obvious spam
on the list. I don't, however, read every message.
(I have a rather draconian and well trained SpamAssassin here.)
If the spam is image spam with random text there is a way to deal with
it in development. It's called FuzzyOCR. And it can be found on the
SA wiki under plugins, I believe.
