Put a decent spam filter in front of ezmlm. If my smtp daemon won't accept 
the mail because it doesn't have a Date header, list.skarnet.org's daemon 
can do it. If my spamassassin can reject mail because it scores 50 on the 
spam scale, it's so obviously spam that it doesn't need to be relayed.

But if Laurent is not very concerned, then for now we can probably live 
with the slightly extra load.
