Summary: option to discard messages that lack explicit destination

Initial Comment:
The configurable variable require_explicit_destination 
is a boolean that selects whether to hold a message for 
moderation if neither the list address nor any aliases 
appear in the To: or Cc: headers.  On certain lists I 
manage, a lot of spam is sent to the lists via BCC:.  
Setting this variable keeps this spam off the list, 
which is great, but I spend a lot of time discarding 
the spam.  I can't simply discard all messages held for 
moderation, because there are occasional legitimate 
messages held for another reason that I want to accept. 
 So I have to trawl through it all.

Therefore, please make the require_explicit_destination 
setting offer the familiar choices of allow, hold, 
reject, and discard.  I'd be happy if you added just 
"discard" without adding "reject", but the full four 
choices would be consistent with the rest of Mailman.  
This will save me a lot of time, and I would think many 
other users are in the same situation.
