Totally feel with you. I had to fully auto-reject non-members on other lists for the same reason.

It would be helpful if more spam would be rejected right away (e.g. if a message is rejected/explicitely ignored in more than two mailing lists, you can ignore them elsewhere, too).

Hi everyone,

For quite some time I have been one of the people maintaining and moderating the different Pywikibot mailman lists. Over time the amount of junk (spam) coming in through the -owner addresses of these lists has increased a lot. My impression is that the people in charge of maintaining mailman are not doing enough to fight this kind of abuse. I'm so annoyed by this I decided now is a good time to stop maintaining mailman lists and spend my time on something more fulfilling.

Maarten
