Im not what you could consiter a power user as far as Mailman is concerned, but it is my understanding that there is more then one way for messages to get into the 'admindb' (if thats what the to-be-moderated queue is called). Being flaged as spam would be another way to enter that queue. How it gets out (or not...) is up to admindb, not to either the current SA 'Handlers', or my proposed Handler+Configurator.
Unless I wanted to hack up that subsystem so that the choices a moderator had were based on how the message got there, I guess its just a matter of having another canned error message. Its not much of a difference either way as far as code goes.
As for actual help, I think Im well on my way. Some of the options remain up to the site admin (spamd/headers, regexp), but on/off, the scores (reject, to-queue, member bonus) are now per-list configurable. Ive got to move it from my workstation over to a system that is (a bit more) 'live', and now add that other canned message.. But that might already be in the Handler... If I can figgure out how to get 'diff' to give me the new files and not just tell me about them, I could have a patchset up within a day.

I don't understand this. There are currently four options in 'admindb' moderation: defer/approve/reject/discard. It might the best to have a fifth option if spam assassin integration is enabled on the list: "discard spam". That would make it possible to integrate spam bayes learning or spam reporting on those messages (i can imaging that bouncing spam to a spamtrap is usefull in some setups as well). On the other hand it might be confusing for moderators to have two 'discard' options, and I doubt if many non-spam messages are discarded by moderators. Thoughts?
I'm willing to help you with the SA-integration. I didn't hear Barry's opinion on integrating SpamAssassin and mailman.
