Restrict posting privilege to list members? (member_posting_only) Under nearly all circumstances this should be set to "yes." This restriction will cause Mailman to hold for administrative review all posts to the list that do not originate from a list member. Setting this to yes prevents you from being spammed by people who manage to get a hold of your list address.
Mailman needs a mechanism for either silently discarding posts from non-members, or, it should be able to forward to an email address separate from the administrative address.
It's the admins who are getting spammed. Throw the crap away and send the admin notification of the discard.
Please give us this knob.
Thank you!

Upgrade to 2.1.

How is that "silently discarding" the post? All you've done is replace the spam from random miscreants with spam from your own system.
