How about making the lists semi-permeable regarding posting:
o subscribed people can post without restrictions
o not-subscribed people get a confirmation-request on their
post by email and have to send-back that confirmation-request
to let their post through into the list.
This does not really prevent abuse by spammers, but it makes it
uncomfortable to spammers.
