I think the list should be separated from the newsgroup. I've always thought this confusing and unusual. Newsgroups are dead, or a dead zone. I'll bet the newsgroup side is the source of the lion's share of the spam.
I wish I was in a position to offer a solution. That is, if I knew I would continue my current academic affiliation for more than the next year then I'd offer to host. Unfortunately, I'm not in that situation.
Someone needs to step up to the plate for at least the email list. The email list can be a functional entity. All email lists to which I belong have little to no spam. I may be fortunate, but that is the way it is.

The problem I would anticipate with that is that responders tend to be "regulars", but most of the questions posed come from "first timers" or "only timers".

Would it be possible to make the list available only to people who have registered? I am on other lists that do this.
