Well, the first and most effective anti-spam measure for a list is to just require subscription to the list. The bbdb-info list has been around long enough, and its address is in enough scannable places that it will end up on most spammer address collections. Even with whatever filtering is happening now, by far most of the postings in the archive are spam. In case it's among the filtered messages, I started this thread [1] by volunteering to moderate the list - in Mailman 2.0 (which sourceforge is using) you can make someone a 'moderator', which gives them the ability to approve and deny postings and subscriptions, but not other list options.
