Of course, most Debian lists are fairly high traffic, so the signal to noise ratio is higher, even if they might get similar amounts of spam as this list.

That wouldn't help in this case. But that gives me another acceptance criterion: auto-accept messages with a really low score (say, -1.0 or something like that).

Has it been checked whether this is the source of the Mike> increased amount of spam? I really doubt it. Spammers don't seem to care about NNTP at this point.
