Sure, I don't have any issue with having a new system go through
moderation in the same way that the webform submissions go through
moderation today, to just filter out pure spam.
Not sure why you think it'll be more spam than the amount we get to our
other lists, but it doesn't seem like that matters all that much either
way, it'll be whatever it ends up being.

Right, we'd definitely need to have moderation in place to avoid having
our servers sending out spam and getting penalized for it (I don't know
that this is really all that different from the existing situation with
our lists, since it's our servers and most email providers care a lot
more about the server sending the spam than about what the From: address
in the spam is...).
Anyway, I think we agree here that we'd want this to be moderated, to
avoid having our systems send out spam, either way, so the rest is
likely moot.
Thanks!
Stephen
