This comes up every so often, but the reason given that the list was open to non-subscribers is because if it didn't then netapp employees wouldn't be able to post, as they receive it through a local exploder.
A decision way back at the time was made that the pain of getting spam was worth the value of having Netapp employee's contributions.

Subject: RE: Just a spam resource now...
I'd think that moderating new subscribers until they've made a couple of
salient on-topic posts that indicate they're not spam-machines would
probably go a long way to addressing the issue. I'm not sure if the
list
owner, or anyone, has time to do that (or what the rate of new
subscribers
is) though...
