    3. I typically moderate a new subscriber, at least until they post their first message, so it's not the case that I'm singling this person out. In fact, I wish Mailman had that option, that is, to automatically moderate the first message of any new subscriber.

IF they are a spammer they are a limited spammer with intent to ONLY spam a specific topic list...that doesn't happen often, but being prepared based upon the .ru address is probably wise. No one is actually accusing the person of anything just because their initial posts are being moderated as a precaution. Joan In a message dated 12/29/2011 8:31:16 A.M.
