You have no idea *how much* spam is blocked by the work of the list
masters. But it's not that anybody monitors all of the almost 300 Debian
lists¹ with thousands of posts each day.

Your help is appreciated:
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ListMaster/ListArchiveSpam
Obviously, this only affects the archive after all subscribers already
received the spam message. Moderating all Debian lists is not a job that
anybody wants to do (and it wouldn't even be appreciated).

Because this excludes use cases that are deemed valid by the list
masters.
