I know a possibility, it is successful used by the mgetty mailing-list.
It's something liek that:
if you post the first time to a group, you get an answer back, that you
have posted the first time and that you please repost your posting (only
if it's the first time).
Spamers mostly won't post it a second time.
How it is done in details, I don't know, perhaps someone here can imagine.
Or you can ask gert (gert@greenie.muc.de), he is the owner of the
mgetty-list (the list itself is coordinated by someone in .edu, but I
forgot the name - gert knows, I'm sure!)
I hope this helps a little bit
