If someone posts to the list and they're not subscribed, I subscribe them nomail and then approve the message. It's a bit of work but it keeps out spam. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA

The problem with this (and the reason it hasn't been done before) is that several people subscribe to the list under a different address than the one they use to post - for example, some institutions gateway the list to a local newsgroup. We could work around this, but it would undoubtedly cause a non-zero amount of hassle. The haskell.org crew are looking into installing some spam filtering at the moment. Cheers, Simon
