If you mean you can't find where header_filter_rules is, it's under Privacy options->Spam filters. If you mean there aren't any rules specified, then that's not part of the problem.
Maybe. I can't say what the problem is without knowing more about the incoming messages.
I suggest 'bin/mailmanctl stop', then 'ls -lR qfiles/' to see what is in what queues. Normally, I would suggest bin/show_qfiles to look at the individual files, but pre-2.1.8a1 show_qfiles has a bug. There is a patch at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1444447&group_id=103&atid=100103>, or you can use bin/dumpdb.
If you find unwanted messages in qfiles/in, qfiles/out, qfiles/command and/or qfiles/virgin (I think those are the only places they would be), move the .pck files out of those directories, but save them for analysis. We would want to see what the various messages look like.
Then do 'bin/mailmanctl start' to start Mailman. Note that even when Mailman is stopped, new posts and requests will be added to the in/ and command/ queues as messages arrive, so you can't just blindly empty the queues as some of the entries will be wanted.

Here's my dilemma. I get tons of SPAM/PHISHING attacks at my email inbox. I am tired of deleting so much crap every day.
I have SA and clamav installed, but perhaps I don't have them configured. Would anyone here be willing to share their mix of tools and how they implement them to fight this.
On a more Mailman-specific note, I have a list, 2ls@mydomain.com set up for my wife's business, and I constantly get bounce notices, from all sorts of strange people trying to post to her list. I likely receive 20 to 40 per day, just to her list. How do I deflect those, or is just the fact that Mailman is bouncing them and not letting through, evidence enough that it's working?

The easiest way (I think) is to do this through Procmail (which still requires some mail server support). Procmail lets you define rules for handling messages. E.g., you can have a rule for all messages that scans them with clamav and spamassassin, and then a rule for messages that SA marks as spam (i.e., adds a header like X-Spam: Yes or somesuch) to be discarded.

What are these notices? If they are "unrecognized bounces", they may result from spam to the list-bounces address. If so, filtering before they reach Mailman will help. You can also just turn off bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner for the list. They can also be unrecognized real bounces resulting from rejects or holds of posts by non-members. Pre-filtering will help here too as will discarding rather than holding or rejecting non-member posts if you want to go that route.
