500 MB incomming traffic per day for nothing... That's in the order of a lot of GB extra outgoing traffic when not filtered.
I know two of the List-Masters and they do a very good job already.

I see absolutely no reason why the lists should be open to all posters. It's not hard to figure out how to subscribe to a list - even Windows users do it all the time.
Not counting the extra traffic generated on the ML servers, and the fact that the ML act like an open relay for the spammers, without them even bothering with email harvesting.
