Why don't you just reject/discard all email unless it is from a subscriber?

 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.

 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?

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