Moderation is not an option because of this interference and the
burden it puts on the moderator to respond in a timely fashion.

If the spam rejection does not improve our next option is to move to
the linux-xfs at vger.kernel.org list - the vger infrastructure is not
perfect, but it does have better spam rejection than the current
filtering on this list.  This may be the best long-term solution to
the problem, but it does involve short term pain for everyone.

Cheers,

Dave.
