Hey,
after experimenting a lot with non-subscriber posting and our spam
filter we have come to the conclusion that we can't win that fight :-/
The wide range of HAM and SPAM that make it to our hundreds of lists
make it virtually impossible to set up a spam filter with a good
miss/false positive ratio.
So we have turned on subscriber only posting for all lists again. Non
subscriber posts are moderated.
That moderation can take potentially a very long time, so better
subscribe to the list you're posting to. If you receive mails by some
other means (nntp or whatever) subscribe to the nomail version of the
list[1]
Have a lot of fun...

I suspect, though, that my ISP is silently filtering spam, and I can't disable it. One
reason for the suspicion is that now and then I get a notice from one or another list that
some mail bounced:
+++—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·
Hi, this is the mlmmj program managing the mailinglist
opensuse-web(a)opensuse.org
Some messages to you could not be delivered. If you're seeing this
message it means things are back to normal, and it's merely for your
information.
Here is the list of the bounced messages:
1057
—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·++-
When I tell mlmmj to resend one of those, it typically bounces again or I get nothing. And
if I locate the email on the web archive, it is spam.
The other reason is that recently I tried to reply to a certain post on the list, which
had initiated with a spam post (which I think I did not get), my own ISP refused to accept
my email for sending (I tried twice):
+++—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—·

So that must be the reason I'm almost not "seeing" spam on the opensuse mail
lists...

The web list was probably the worst. I follow the lists using gmane.
YMMV; all I know is that I saw a fair amount of spam hitting the lists
because they weren't limited to posts by subscribers.

As I said, I use gmane and pan (as a newsreader), and while the mailing
list filters *and* gmane filters, it didn't catch everything.
Restricting posting to subscribers only is a sensible move and solves the
problem for everyone, and I appreciate the change.

We filter locally, I'll have to check how much has been filtered out.
