MemberAdaptor, yes, I think it's mature enough to use!

I lost track, SpamAssassin or TDMA?  I read about SA briefly and it
looks like you could run it in a client/server arrangement.  If the
on-the-wire protocol were simple enough, you could probably write a
pure-Python client and then integrate that into Mailman's handler
pipeline.  If it's too complex, you might be able to wrap SA's C API
in a Python extension module.
