I read both cl-faq and cl-gardeners via gmane.  Does gmane do any spam
filtering?  (If not, I'll switch back to getting mail.  I use
spamcop.net for mail filtering; it works well enough for me in most
cases.)

What about the mailing list archive at
http://www.lispniks.com/pipermail/cl-faq?  It'd have the spam, too,
wouldn't it?  Ick.

Maybe you could close the list, add a trailer to each message along
the lines of "If you are not subscribed please send FAQ submissions to
cl-faq-submissions at lispniks.com", and also include that in the
message that mailman sends when it bounces submissions from
non-subscribers.
