I don't see this noise since I use bogofilter to filter out almost all 
SPAM (500-1000 SPAM messages/day).  However, recently I have 
encountered lots of problems with sites that won't accept my mail due 
to poorly-implemented anti-SPAM measures.  If there is a trade-off, I 
would rather receive (and filter) SPAM than not be able to post to 
lists.

There is an apparent FSF policy that non-subscribers should be able to 
post to GNU mailing lists.  This policy is one reason why there is so 
much SPAM on the lists.  The alternative is that many useful postings 
would not be posted to the lists.
