Since one could already only post while being subscribed to the list, does that mean that even mails from "known" (ie subscribed) mail addresses (yes this can be spoofed) will be subject to the spam check?
Emails from non-subscribers were (and are still) held in a moderation queue, that a normal member doesn't see. It is these queues that simply got too noisy with spam to prevent an effective manual sorting.
Yes, all mail now goes through the spam filter. However, it was trained with the last 4-5 years of 'good traffic' on the list...

These numbers can easily be tweaked. I am mostly attacking the obvious spam emails that arrive their in the tens each day.
