-1. Y!G spam-catching is terrible, so much so that I've migrated all my
Y!G lists to Google Groups. Over there, I set them to allow anyone to
sign up, but all messages are moderated -- then when a non-spam message
comes through I change the author's settings to "don't moderate further
messages from the same address." This is very easy in GG, zero extra
clicks; I don't know how easy it is in Y!G.
