Comment:
Emboldenate main points, TL;DR-ishly
The general rule of thumb is...
- 1. if it's spam, ignore it - the default action is to treat anything that doesn't ever get approved as spam. Do ''NOT'' use the reject address for spam because the "reject" option actually sends an email bounce confirming that the domain & email address are "real", which is only likelye to encourage spammers.

- 1. if it's someone trying to subscribe to the list, "reject" it, with a message in the rejection body explaining how to subscribe. It's usually a good idea to CC `listname-owner@lucene...` on these rejections so that if the person is really confused and replies back with a question it will go to the right place.

- 1. if it's not spam, even if it seems like it's to the wrong list, use "Reply-To-All" to both the "allow" and "approve" Addresses. Doing both will ensure that if that user continues to send email w/o subscribing we won't continously have to allow their messages; and even if it's the wrong list, let it through and let the community point that out.

If you get a persistent spammer, you can block them - see http://untroubled.org/ezmlm/manual/Blocking-an-Address.html#Blocking-an-Address
