I have advocated this for a long time. Restricting posting to
subscribers only effectively eliminates all spam on the Chicago Beer
Society list which I manage. It does impose a slight additional
administrative hassle, because you have to take action when somebody
changes their email address - you cannot just let forwarding take care
of it. But that's pretty minor, compared to be inundated with spam or
trying to keep spam-blocking software working.

Can we stop forwarding all the spam to the mailing

How about making this list subscriber only. This would stop the spam.
Is there anybody that posts here that is not on the list?
