This spam got onto the lists through the chlamydia bug tracker gateway,
    is there any way to do some sort of validation to stop that from being
    possible?

At least it is IT-related. :-)

The stronger you filter, the more valid posts slip through. In my
humble opinion, I prefer to delete an occasional piece of spam over
missing valid posts.

To answer your question directly, you can allow posting for list
members only (possibly already done) and you can introduce
moderation. A measure against automated subscribers would be to
require some unusual action in the confirmation mail.

A number generation/confirmation is a simple validation process and easy
to do. We should use that.

yes, i am sorry. if we put the bug tracker on your network, we wouldn't
even have to use a separate mail address for the tracker. actually i
tried using bugs@lists.dragonflybsd.org, but somewhere the mail was
being filtered (possibly on your side).
