KLUG does it indirectly.  We have it set that only people who are
subscribed to the list can post messages.  Other messages are 
"held for approval" and we reject them manually (if they are spam).

Mailman also has the ability to filter on the email headers, but 
that's a losing battle with spammers, IMO.
