The gaim-devel list was similarly stricken.  Rather than force
moderation, they resolved to simply block mail coming from
'mailer-daemon', as those are what all the spam rejects are.  Note that
the list wasn't flooded with spam, it was flooded with bouncebacks.  The
spammers were using the list address as the sender.

Just an FYI.  I think just rejecting 'mailer-daemon' emails would go a
long way and not force admins to moderate every post.
