That is a good idea too, but it better not be the only fix. Mailing lists may have valid from: adresses.
My suggestion for blocking other lists is that the non-list spam doesn't seem to be the big problem here. Annoying for sure, but a lot lower than the list volume. They can be dealt with in the ordinary complain-to-ISP way.
These list subscriptions were different, as they forced the move to x-linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu The attack may be repeated for that address of course.
Blocking lists would make the easy mass-destruction impossible.
