One does not have to monitor every individual message. A list can be setup
such that only those parties subscribed to it can send email to it. Each
subscription can then be manually approved. (There aren't that many of
them on this list. As Lojbab mentioned, <=400 in the past couple of
years.)

On what basis do you stop someone from subscribing? Verifying someone's net persona is a bit of work, and a large number of people are subscribed not under any obvious real name (not that a competent spammer wouldn't be able to create a fictitious person's name).
