[Mailman-Developers] mailman filter for SpamAssassin support

[James Henstridge]

I uploaded a patch to the SF bug tracker today that adds support for 
doing SpamAssassin (http://spamassassin.taint.org/) checks to the 
mailman message pipeline:

    http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=534577&group_id=103&atid=300103

This will contact the spamd daemon to score the message.  If the message 
gets scored above one threshold, it gets discarded (this defaults to 10, 
but can be customised in the mm_cfg.py file).  If the message scores 
above another lower threshold, it gets held for moderation (this 
defaults to 5).

I wrote this to try and reduce the number of messages held for 
moderation.  I wrote it for mailman 2.0.x (as that is what I am using at 
the moment), but it should be fairly easy to update for 2.1.

It might be worth using on the python.org mailing lists ...

James.
