I admin a list where I moderate subscriptions, not posts.  It has to be 
a lot easier than screening posts.  Subscription approvals are based on 
a short line either indicating a referral or why the person wants to 
subscribe.  In the 7 or 8 years since I've had it, we've never had a 
spam post.  (Once or twice had a problem with people like the guy, 
"Howard", that posted to this list for a while, but I don't see how you 
could ever avoid that.)  Does mailman allow this?
