Unfortunately, SPAMmers quickly learn how to break through automated 
defenses so that they can simply subscribe to lists.  One way or 
another, list servers are simply overwelmed.  There seems to be no 
reasonable solution.

I believe that all of the SourceForge lists are also open.   They used 
to support blocking non-subscribers but that became a nightmare for 
maintainers so the capability was removed.
