I think that that's putting WAY too much effort into this.
Obviously, it would be nice if we had AI to cancel spams, but we don't.
There is no generic spam, although some (very few) get sent out a few
times. Spams are something that we have to live with, like crime. We can
try and do our best to reduce it, but we also have to realize that the
effort we put into this has to be realized, and if it only stops one or
two spams over the course of a month or two, it's not worth our time!
The lists I manage are all moderated and there are a few I manage which
allow posting by the readers (one is a list that relays news from
various sources, another is a discussion list; all are moderated). Truly, it
does not take much time to moderate lists and remove spams.
Truthfully, if your list is moderated, the spammer knows the message
won't get through and won't waste their time in the future!
Seriously though, if you're willing to have a message put in a queue, why
not make that queue your INBOX?
If you can live with a spam every so often, then you'll have no need to
spend anymore time than you currently do on your list.
I'm not saying we shouldn't discourage spams, but there is a limit to how
much effort we should put in.
