But remember that not all blank Subject: emails are spam. Sometimes a Newbie posts like that and it is a legitimate question or problem. As well as the replies.
The list admins will probably hate this, but it could be more effective for the Mailman s/w to return such mail to sender with the comment that all mail to the list must have a non-empty Subject line. That could actually help the newbies and in general the spammers won't bother replying.
Good idea. If that is possible (I don't doubt you) I wonder why no one thought of it before now? I like that solution much more than just 'kill file' or ignoring the post. :-)
Excellent idea. I try drilling into students that it is a security risk to send e-mail without subject.

Basic rule here...
No header, no read...just delete
Nice rule, except that it can not always be enforced.
