Spam getting through to list

I have several lists configured the same way, with ezmlm-make -Mu

I know that spam with sender faked to a list member will get through. But
that is not my problem.

For one list only, spam is getting through even though the sender (real or
faked) is not a list member. I don't understand how this is happening or
what to do about it.

 * Is there a misconfiguration by me?

 * Is this unavoidable?

 * Have spammers found a new way to get through ezmlm?

I've temporarily changed the list to moderated -mU and hence can see the
headers of the incoming spam. Here's a sample:

[email protected] is not a subscriber to mylist, nor on the allow list, so
how come (when I had it set to -Mu) messages like this were passed to the
list?

Is there some configuration change I can make to overcome this, or do I (and
all of you) have to resign myself to having to make all my lists moderated
:(

Thanks
