I have several lists that are receiving SPAM messages from multiple sources. The lists do not forward them since I have it set not to.
But often I have to go through the process of manually deleting them from the queue and I get messages telling me how many messages are pending approval.
I ban the email addresses and set them to be auto discarded. But the SPAMmers rarely use the same address twice.
Is there any way to set Mailman to just delete these messages rather than hold them for approval?
Regards,

Discard is fine, but Reject is bad as it just causes backscatter to the innocent 3rd parties whose addresses are spoofed in the From: of the spam.

You just need to harden the spam filtering implementation on your SMTP server. Mailman will NOT do it for you.

Set Privacy options... -> Sender filters -> generic_nonmember_action to Discard
