My first line of defense will be to set up the mailing list so that
only subscribers can send mail to it and set up the lists to be
moderated lists just to make sure.

If you have normal greylising/dns-blacklist/anti-spam measures in your
exim that should should do the job.

     "And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto 
      you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat:
      neither for the body, what ye shall put on. The life 
      is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
      Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; 
      which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God
      feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls!
      Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil 
      not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that  
      Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of 
      these. If then God so clothe the grass, which is to 
      day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven;
      how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little  
      faith? And seek not what ye shall eat, or what ye 
      shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 
      But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these 
      things shall be added unto you."
