Wouldn't it be possible to employ PGP for the authorization purposes? Everyone
subscibing to the list would have his PGP key signed by the linux-kernel
maintainer (I think this CAN be done automagically with Majordomo) and then
only the postings that are signed with THAT key would be accepted. Of course,
anyone could subscribe to the list just to read the mails - that wouldn't
require PGP, but to post a message one would have to use PGP.
It would be PITA at first, but in the end it would stop spam completely.
Just a thought, but perhaps useful...
