Isn't a spam filter used there? If non-members post with Mutt,
they would probably have a very low score since Mutt doesn't
generate broken headers or HTML.

It would be very bad to silently ignore non-members. Bounces due
to fake headers can easily be filtered on the user's side anyway
since they contain the headers of the message (which could be seen
as some kind of signature).
