it's easy - the standard policy for the FreeBSD lists is that spam is
not allowed.

Of course, people still post to it, mostly because they allow people not
on the list to post.  I can't say I agree with that, but it's not my
list.  Unless they started filtering all list mail through something
like the RBL, implementing an anti-spam policy is not going to cut down
on the amount of spam.

As for the purpose of the list, it's intended for newbies to discuss
getting used to FreeBSD.  Sounds simple enough to me.  If you have
questions, they go to freebsd-questions; this is for conversation and
experiences, not "how do I do $FOO" type questions.
