I never used the mailing list directly, but always via NNTP, since
gmane acts as a gateway for the R mailing list.

  www.gmane.org

It has several anti-spam features in place already.  So if you want to
switch, it's very easy.  Just point your favorite news client to
news.gmane.org and start reading gmane.comp.lang.r.general.
