    Before we go to the heavy solution of full moderation, I reiterate my 
    call for:
    
        * a real list charter, so we know what is on topic and what is not
        * a closed list, i.e. so that only those who are subscribed to the
          list can post, and non-subscriber posts get sent to a moderator
          for approval
    
    These basic lit management techniques work VERY well, and are very 
    lightweight to administer. There are 500 people on the Linux Security 
    Module mailing list, it gets no spam at all, and I spend approx. 5 
    minutes a day administering it.
