   I understand your point. However I run several lists and prefer to
   manually approve serious mails instead of spamming every member by
   keeping the gates open. It is a bit more work but keeps frustration
   away from list members. Of course this is just an opinion.

Instead of simply rejecting them, moderate all the non-subscribed
messages.  The best of two worlds.
