I go in to privacy option - accept list and click on: Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined - discard. This cuts down on a lot of the spam coming in that you have to contend with day to day. I have about 40 RW mailing lists and this was getting out of hand for me. You just want to make sure that you aren't having to confirm subscriptions to the list, as it will delete those people as well.
