Summary: Challenge/Response for held postings

Initial Comment:
With moderated or member-only lists the lists get a
multitude of spam which the admin has to discard
manually (Listserv does this automagically). 

Mailman could discard most of the spam automatically if
it would implement a challenge/response for all
messages hold for moderator approval: Mail the sender
(usually forged) and  ask them to confirm the message
(by mail or www). If the message isn't confirmed after
24h, drop it silently and don't bother the admin.

hear, hear!

I just spent many hours trying to kludge a TMDA-based
solution together, only to find that my host won't allow the
required changes to Exim for this to work.

Please let me know if there's anything development-wise I
could do to help this along.

Or is there another approach pending elsewhere that would
accomplish this in a different way?
