I for one hope not. The few groups I write to that are a a constant source
of junk mail from the spammers that parse them.
I could envision something "robo-moderated" (i.e. only people signed
up with the group could post to it, although everyone could read). I tend
to doubt anyone would go the trouble of signing on with a listserv,
just to spam. . .
