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.
Some lists are spammier than others. I just cleared the wikimediauk-l
queue today, though first I checked the daily status email and there
were no human emails in it. OTOH the wikien-l queue was regularly so
long as to be painful.
