You all seem to miss the point. The junk that got through was directed at the -owner addresses like pywikibot-owner@lists.wikimedia.org not at the actual lists.

Another tipp for linux terminal users: there ist a software called listadmin, wich you can use to moderate very efficiently big amounts of mailinglists.
If some wikimedia-tech-related list desperately needs a moderator, I would also volunteer, moderating one more lists… ;)

A couple of thoughts: There are 3 sections of questions related to reducing spam, at the bottom of https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mailing_lists/Administ ration if anyone has tips/answers?
I've added details on a useful greasemonkey script (written by bd808), that greatly speeds up the moderation process of discarding spam and adding addresses to the auto-discard list, in a subsection of https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Administration#Tend_ to_pending_moderator_requests
HTH,

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.
