Ok, this is driving me bonkers. We get a ton of spam that is sent to our lists as implicit destinations. There is no way to automatically discard these messages under Mailman 2.1.1 (Python 2.2.2 on Solaris9)

As an RFE, could a feature be added along the lines of the default handler for posts from non-members so that you can select what do to with mail for implicit destinations?

i.e. Under Privacy -> Recipient Filters

Action to take for postings to implicit destinations for which no
explicit action is defined.  (Details for generic_implicit_action)

[ ] Accept [ ] Hold [ ] Reject [ ] Discard 

Right now the there is no option and all mail is held.

I have plans for rewriting the Hold/Moderate workflow so that you could do something like this much more easily. It's probably a MM3.0 thing.
