I find python group is filled with spam mails, is there any way to filter
these mails before sending it to the group.
I can't see this situation with similar user group, such as the jsr.

I don't think it would die, but the chances are greater that it would

You will lose a lot of people asking/answering interesting stuff, and
maybe eventually the list will die. Me (like many people with little
free time) seldom post in blogs/forums/mailing lists where I need to
register.

Now, an ISP might not have the bandwidth to supply all the needs of their
