It's pretty straightforward to keep the spam out with technical
band-aids.  Given the low traffic volume, I'd suggest per-message
confirmations, that is, when someone sends in a message, it writes back to
say "was that you?" and only posts the message when it gets the
confirmation back.  If the people running the list don't have the tools
handy to do that, put me in touch with them and I can help set it up.
