You personally can't prevent spam from being sent to the list but you can prevent (most) spam from clogging up your inbox.

Look for an email client with a spam filter that learns. There are lots out there. Bayesian mathematics is your friend.

I'm using GMail which has pretty decent spam filtering and I've gotten about 6 e-mails this morning...is there nothing the list can do? Or are they harvesting e-mails from the list and sending them direct with the [Rails] prefix?
