A third option we have is to turn off posts from non-list members. This could drastically cut down spam, but it has a big downside: Any Inkscape user with a question or issue, will be forced to have to sign up for the mailing list before posting. We made the decision to leave things open because we wanted to keep the barrier of entry as low as possible for new users to get their questions asked and answered.

What if there were a question submission box on inkscape.org that would send to the list? The list could be closed, but anyone could go to inkscape.org and ask questions from there.
BTW. I use Gmail, and maybe one spam a week, or every other week makes it thorough from this list. Gmail may not be everyone's thing, but it filters the spam pretty well.
