This is a test of my own spam filters. I've been fiddling with them to
see if I can block the large amount of spam that is distributed on this
list without blocking the legitimate postings. The issue is, that to
receive the list at all, I have to whitelist it, but then that lets all
the spam in too. I really urge you all to consider making this a
closed list.

FWIW, I've only received one spam (if that) via the
list since setting up URL blocking a few weeks ago.
Russ: try increasing the score associated with the
URIBL_SBL test in SpamAssassin to 7 or so. It needs
to be greater than 5 since a good portion of the
spam has a slight negative nudge from the bayesian
test. Perhaps resetting the bayesian training for
this alias might also help.

Agreed!!
I like a little bit of spam, especially with Velveeta.
But 100+ b.s. spam messages in a weekend is more than enough to swallow.
