Mailman allows filtering of messages only on headers, so a lot of spam
gets through. Since traffic on address@hidden is fairly low, the
signal to noise ratio is not good :-(
One alternative is to only allow posts from subscribers, but I don't
really want to do that or we may lose valuable input from people who
don't wish to subscribe to the list.
I have enabled an option in mailman to disallow posts where the To:
and/or Cc: fields don't specify the list address which may help
somewhat. If things still look bad, I might be persuaded to disallow
non-subscriber posts to libtool-patches, libtool-commit and libtool (but
not bug-libtool).

I don't know very much about pipermail. You might be able to take it up
with the pipermail code maintainers, or the archive maintainers at
gnu.org. I don't know who these people are though...
