The lists are restricted to registered users only, but
we hold other
mails in the moderation queue rather than discarding them outright.
This means a lot of spam gets in the moderation queue, which nobody ever
sees except the list admins. I keep hearing a rumor that we've set up
SpamAssassin but I guess it hasn't really gotten done.
There's a LOT of spam in the moderation queue, but it does no harm sitting
there (unless the mail server is about to fall over with the weight of it).
The main reason to check the queues at all is just in case there's a
message from a human to allow through.
