	The best way to avoid spam on any mailing-list is just set it
up to moderate all new users. After a regular user posts his/her first
message, the moderator can decide to turn off the bit moderation. If
it's spam, it can simply discard the message and leave the spammer as
moderated.

	Of course it will not be perfect as spammers could try to pass
as a normal user, but for the most past, it works.

	I decided to leave, for example, the alsa mailing lists because
of too many spams... 

	Ps: it could be associated with many others mechanisms like RBL
lists, bayesian filtering, greylisting, basic smtp server filtering
etc. But is must have an active admin.
