I'd like a flag to disallow mime/html messages as an anti-spam feature. Most spam has pictures - html - java - etc - and prohibiting these messages could be an effective tool in reducing spam.

Why not just run the message through demime first? Here's what I do:
## test mailing list ## created: 30-Jul-2001 root test: "|/bin/demime - |/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper post test" test-admin: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test" test-request: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test" test-owner: test-admin
Works fine for me. I want my *MTA* to do spam catching, not the list software.

Here's something that would be most useful against spam: somewhere in the pipeline check the message against the "razor" (**) spam database, and send it to the trash if it matches.
I think it's possible to use the method described earlier by Barry (*) to plug in this test, but I'm afraid I don't know how to code it, even as simple as it looks.
(*) message-id <15413.22769.325250.98323@anthem.wooz.org> (**) razor-check is at http://razor.sourceforge.net/razor-check.html
