The only spam that gets through is the spam that is sent to unarchived bugs, of course. > I was talking about nice technical solution for e-mail sending/spam > handling.

This isn't even required; if you want to be sure that your message gets through, use an X-Debbugs- header or subscribe to the whitelist. Everything else significantly increases the barrier to sending mail to the BTS and the mailing lists. While subscribers-only is a valid response to spam, it's not one that I personally plan on implementing for the BTS (and one I rather doubt other listmasters would agree with for mailing lists either.)
