The vast majority of the ArbCom lists related spam (and there's quite a
bit) comes from these domains:
.faith
.review
.win
.date
.br
But I haven't a clue what to do about them.

Good idea Nick :)
I just learned about the option to Not send me a copy of every bounce.
So that will be nice! (bottom radio-button in

I see you have whitelisted anything ending in wikimedia.org¹, but I have
seen spam with a spoofed from header pretending to be another list or even
a list-owner², so I would put such generic whitelists with care.
¹ regex note: ^.*[\.(a)]wikimedia\.org$ would have been preferable, since
someone registering
evilwikimedia.org wouldn't have his email go thorugh.
² any reason the spf record for
lists.wikimedia.org is set to neutral
instead of being a (hard) fail?
Is that a good setting to recommend to all admins on the wiki page?
It probably depends on how confident on your rules you are. Sending a copy
leaves a security layer so the moderator can still look at them. OTOH, for
small lists where everyone is a moderator, I think it's worth to actually
avoid the other moderators the trouble of seeing them.
