And honestly, people who want to filter these messages out can do so,
whether they are on their own list or on this one. It's quite easy to
create rules for them, including temporary filters like to handle
today's unusual amount of messages.
That is the wrong answer:-) You are ignoring the anti-community
effects of all that trash being sent over the internet - probably
several gigabytes of traffic wasted in one day - as well as the costs to
people who pay for bandwidth - filtering it is too late!
2400 messages at 2294 bytes * 500 subscribers is about 2.5GB of totally
garbage network traffic sent out by the Apache mail server over a few
hours (I don't know how many subscribers there are, that was just a
guess). And that 2294 is a bit high as it includes the Received: lines
that are added by sendmail, but still, it's a measurable amount of
wasted bandwidth.
