[Cialug] Easy fixes for today's list spam

Just a suggestion, given the spam emails sent to the list today.

If the admins implement the following changes, 100% of the messages from
the spammer will be blocked, assuming those messages exhibit similar
characteristics to the ones already sent.

1. Use Spamhaus dnsbl lists, XBL at a minimum.  Zen would have caught
all three spamruns; XBL would have blocked two.

2. Block senders with broken DNS.  This would have blocked all three
spamruns.

3. (Unsubscribing the sender)

Any chance the admins can fix this?  As well as removing the
superfluous lug@ list?
