Hello Mark I think you cannot stop junk advertisement mailers by Keyword or even login and password on any mailing list becouse they are subscribers too of the list and not outsiders in very rear case any outsider shall be able to broadcast any advertisement to the mailing list, Modrate system is little time consuming but it can filter out those junk from the list I been member to few other mailing list which are highly crowded subscribers messages say 250 emails a day without any junk advertisements in it, and here we have less then 10 subscribers messages a day so it cannot be of much trouble to handle it say once a day you filter out junk and broadcast the real messages even two or three times a day cannot be a problem on fix time well two or three modrates shall be excellent on one mailing list if one missed due to any reason second or third moderat can take care of it.
