In my experience, SpamAssassin is only a partial solution, but I'm probably a very extreme case. I get over 1,000 spams a day, and SpamAssassin catches only about half of them. Most of the rest are caught by my own homemade "automatic whitelisting" thingy, but I still have to go through the "nowhitelist" folder by hand for now.

People who send a message without being subscribed will get a warning message explaining what happened, and they can figure out what to do from there.
