I am also going to filter the non-subscriber mail more effectively. Lately I have had to check about 50 spams a day to see if they are actually posts to the list. I find one real post every two or three days. Now I will save for human processing only the non-subscriber mail that is PGP signed or encrypted, or that looks like a reply. The majority of non-subscriber mails I've forwarded to the list have been replies. (I'll save everything for a while to make sure my filtering works).
Could you at least bouncegram the mail that you're not saving, or else have SMTP use a reject message that says what it's doing? That way the occasional non-whitelisted non-subscriber human who sends mail to the list will get some indication that the mail's been rejected and what to do about it.
