As mentioned, list can be configured so only members can post.
And membership controlled by moderator(s).
Spammers can still spoof member addresses of course but that is less likely.
Changing the list address will not help, as it will still be found by
crawlers and bots, it is not possible to use it and also keep it secret.
Even on systems where the list address can be hidden from public view in
the management interface, as soon as it is used to send or receive mail
it is visible in internet traffic, and there are 'sniffers' that do
nothing but watch for addresses not already in their database and
harvest them.
If help is needed configuring the list as best as possible vs. spam I
can help, I would need admin access to adjust the settings.
aloha,
John
