I don't know what the state of the art of list management software is, but it 
must be possible to 

a) limit the number of messages from any user to say 50 a day;

b) disallow posting from unconfirmed addresses; if ponik@prover.sk wasn't 
subscribed, how could he post?

c) detect "lameness" like Slashcode sites, and Google Groups (identical 
repeated messages, malformatted messages, etc.)

Just my $.02
