If I remember correctly, the list was opened to non-subscribers and the
spam filters were set up to allow more people to contribute to the list.
In my opinion this action failed, because we have more spam recently and
less "real" traffic than before. So maybe turning off the spam filters
and allowing only subsribers to post may be better.
