No, I and others have mentioned the option of "initial per-user moderation"
for new subscribers. Whether that moderation (list owner approval of posts)
is removed automatically or by explicit action of the owner, spammers just
don't have the patience or capability to understand each list charter and
post something relevant and on-topic. By the second useful post, you can
be sure it's not a spammer and remove the posting approval (moderation) flag.
I've personally done this (with 100% perfect results if you don't count
those who get pissed off about me having to approve their first post)
with ListServ and Majordomo2. It's not in Majordomo 1.x as far as I know.
