Summary: Reject/discard decisions before hold...

Initial Comment:
Folks,

It would be really nice if Mailman could intelligently make reject/
discard decisions before looking at decisions which would result in 
a "hold" action.

For example, if the list is configured for a maximum message size 
of 40KB and reject any message over that size, but postings from 
non-members are held for moderation, then it would be nice if a 
non-member posting a message over 40KB in size got an auto-
reject for being too large as opposed to being held for moderation 
because it's from a non-member.

Same for discard -- make these decisions before looking at ones 
that could result in a "hold".

This would make the lives of moderators and list server managers 
much nicer, since a lot of spam could be rejected or discarded 
outright, and we'd never need to see it or deal with it.
