If it's a subscriber-only list, set your list software to reject 
non-subscribed posts rather than hold for moderation.

Your moderation queue wont be full of spam, real-people will get an 
error faster than i can type 'go and subscribe' and click 'reject' in 
mailman's interface. The truly persistent non-subscriber-posters will 
eventually email the owner address (eg people who subscribe with one 
address but post from another then ask why it doesnt work).
