I would agree in the case of the changes list. There should be no reason that an outsider would post to lists used for development and maintenance of the Debian distribution. The user list needs to be open so people can get help by email using whatever net access they can borrow/steal until they have a running Debian GNU/Linux system.
The SPAM did not have a Cc or To header naming a debian listserver. This would be a good reason to reject messages to any list.
