Another solution is to perform a lookup on the source email address. If it's
a new address, then the mail will have to be accepted by a moderator. For
all subsequent postings, the mails will be sent to the list.
For the spam problem caused by leakage of email addresses in group forums,
there's not a lot to do but rewrite the email addresses as plain rubbish
before posting them, or transform them into something not *very* obvious
(like base64 encoding of the address). Or add a given string to both sides
of the '@' sign. Fortunately these transformations are quite easy to
perform, e.g., in perl.
