You might not be able to use procmail (i am not sure about this) but
you can filter SPAM anyway: Just setup your MTA to reject SPAMMERS
(eg. based upon their domain) by returning a 55x or 571 error code and
fetchmail will happily delete the mail on the POP/IMAP server without
copying it to your local machine.

No it is not: spammers are usually not subscribed to the lists they
spam. So the only way to prevent spams is to close the list, which has
been repeatedly rejected for different reasons.
FWIW: This thread has now generated more traffic in the last week than
SPAM received thrugh the list in the last year. Please lets drop it
or use a list devoted to the discussion of listserv administrativa.
Thanks,
