If you set the list options so that mail from unsubscribed people is automatically rejected, then you'll see virtually no spam. Or, is there something else going on in this case?

For a real list you can do that. I have set Intlwiki-l so to reject all postings by non-listmembers.
But infode-l is not a real list but a "Contact Wikipedia" address. A emailaddress for visitors to ask a question. It is normal that the are not listmembers.
The Dutch Wikipedia is using for this the listadmin address of the list; wikinl-l-owner AT wikipedia.org There is also no spamfilter on that address. For now we do not get many spam on that address.
A emailaddress in the format; info@XX.wikipedia.org to cantact a Wikipedia is nicer.
