In Mailman 3 you can do this to adjust member moderation after you've determined that a new subscriber is posting legit content:
In the held messages dialog, click on the message. A dialog opens which comes with a pulldown "Set member moderation". This allow you to easily adjust the member moderation bit on a per user basis.
Simply clicking on "Discard" without also adjusting the member moderation will not change the situation, since the member would still be able to post spam.
Most spam messages on MLs I moderate are sent by non-members, so the above doesn't really help much. For subscribe-only lists the situation is much better.

Hi,
I'm one of the 4 owers of the list. I changed a Setting : Message Acceptance > Default action to take when a member posts to the list: (o) Hold for moderation. Let's see how if goes.
I don't want to moderation the subscriptions. I cannot say if an email address looks like a spammer address or not. I prefer to moderate depending on the content.
When I am to moderate a spam, I only click on "Discard". Nothing else. I don't to each member setting to remove the account ot disallow this allow to send new emails. It would be too much work for me, since sadly the majority of traffic on this list is spam (at least for my owner role).
But I'm fine with changing an account setting for non-spammers, for legit emails.
I added Petr Viktorin as a 5th owner: welcome Petr :-)

The signal:noise ratio due to spam is getting a bit high on this mailing list. Would the admins be up for turning on default moderation for people and then selectively turning it off? Or should this group move to discuss.python.org where spam issues aren't as much of a concern?
