In response to some recent issues, I've added the following paragraphs to 
the list FAQs:

What about anti-spam services?

We already take the steps necessary to keep spam off our lists. Whatever 
filtering you do with your email software and your email service is up to 
you.

That said, we take a dim view of anti-spam services such as Spam Arrest 
that require the sender of a message to respond to a message from the 
anti-spam service before allowing the recipient to receive the posting. 
Such a service inconveniences anyone who posts to the list and is 
unnecessary.

These are all closed lists, so there is no spam. Only those who have 
requested a subscription and confirmed their subscription are allowed to 
post. If that is not good enough for you, please don't inconvenience our 
members by asking them to jump through hoops to keep your mailbox spam 
free.

Any subscriber using this kind of anti-spam service will receive one 
warning. If the situation is not resolved quickly, the subscriber will be 
banned. The burden should be on the spammers, not innocent list members.


And the following to our netiquette page:

Never send test messages to the list. Test when you have something to say 
to the list by saying it, not by sending a test message.


And a reminder:

Except for the swap list, all lists are set up so that hitting reply will 
generate a reply to the list. Because the swap list is not a discussion 
list, it is set up so that replies go to the original sender, not to the 
list. (Exception: digest mode.)


Hope this helps thing run more smoothly.
