Is that really needed?  The traffic here is quite low, splitting the
lists doesn't seem to make much sense.

Banning HTML mail takes care of 99% of the spam that tries to get
through to the linux-usb-* mailing lists.  Sure, some of it slips
through, but I never notice it, as my local spam filters pick them up
usually :)

You might want to try that, it's a good first step, which also keeps the
lists open for non-subscribers to post to (which is a good thing,
considering that you have to ask someone before being able to join this
list, which I think is a bit strange...)

thanks,
