Unlike bugs, linux-help does get a fair amount of legitimate mail from
non-MIT senters, so I don't think this is a good idea.
If you get someone to turn on full headers in the discuss archive (this
should be totally painless), I'd be happy to delete future spam from that,
for you, though.
If you'd still like to make it a mailman list, you could hold-for-approval
mail from non-MIT senders, but I'd ask you to comit to moderating it in
a timely manner.
