Posts from new addresses go to moderators for spam deletion. There are
a couple a day that are discarded. Posts with 'suspicious headers'
also get checked. Non-suspicious posts from known people (perhaps 90%)
do not get checked. We have not yet gotten into 'censorship' of
trolling and flaming. I would prefer not being forced into considering
it.
This is true of python-list. comp.lang.python the Usenet newsgroup is
not moderated. God alone knows what Googlegroups thinks it's doing.

Yes, I took 'list' to mean 'mailing list', not 'newsgroup'.

Two newsgroups, comp.lang.python and gmane.comp.python.general, and

No, not on any of them. However, as near as I can tell, gmane sends
posts to python-list first and only displays and archives posts that go
out to the list (and back to gmane, if they originate there, like this
one). Gmane also has a spam filter and after-the-fact spam reporting.
People on c.l.p and py g.g. benefit from filtering of spam originally
sent to the list or gmane. About half of it originates from gmail
acounts but I do not know (and have not checked) whether gmail posts
come directly or via gg.
