While I appreciate all the analyses, each configuration is unique. This 
list is run by a comp center that supports Mailman, which has some spam 
filtering which is already in place. Unfortunately, that filtering is 
incomplete.

I will continue to evaluate the suggested alternatives - the callback 
system, spamlist services, etc, and install a feasible alternative when 
one is identified. (feasible to implement on this list, given its 
current configuration and support). Keep in mind, please, that 
regardless of system, it is not feasible to please every subscriber all 
the time.
