Yes, 99,9 % of the queue will be spam. But why be afraid?
Based on existing experience, it creates a huge headache for list
moderators, and usually the mod queue just accumulates until it's so
long it takes a half hour to load it in your browser so the whole thing
gets blown away and the list gets set back to auto-discard... thus
moderation of non-subscriber mails is unsuccessful.
