This has been discussed to death on many ocasions, ending up usually
producing more mail about the spam than the spam itself.  The end result
of which has invariably been that:
The list will remain open
No sub lists will be created as no-one would subscribe to them
Spam is an MUA problem, not an MTA problem.
And I never knew what MUA/MTA was until now, google is my handy that
way sometimes.
