Why not just run the message through demime first?  Here's what I do:

## test mailing list
## created: 30-Jul-2001 root
test:              "|/bin/demime - |/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper post test"
test-admin:        "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test"
test-request:      "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test"
test-owner:        test-admin

Works fine for me.  I want my *MTA* to do spam catching, not the list
software.
