Hi Erich,

The leaf-lists have had member-only posting for as long as I can
remember (which is why we don't see any Spam on the lists - or do you?).
The Spam I was referring to is the stuff that gets forwarded to me
because I'm the list admin (posts by non-members, bounces, posts that
were held due to failing the content-check and so on).

The filters are to catch the more unusual stuff - Spam, that is posted
to some "Mailinglist to Webpage/Newsgroup" portal, or the even more
unusual case of Spam with a "From" that happens to be a subscribed user
(this is more likely to happen with Viruses/Worms, since they tend to
use From-addresses found in the address books of their victims).

So, the content filter is just an additional check, not the only one.
