We're limited to what sourceforge gives us. I'm pretty sure spamassasin is therefore ruled out. Setting to members only and setting a low threshold on the holding of emails to the moderator before deleting is the best I can see from the list admin pages. I have to say that it does catch a lot of spam already though that the mailing lists don't see.
