Read http://www.daa.com.au/~james/articles/mailman-spamassassin/
and/or http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.023.htp

I use a somewhat other approach. I forward all mail to a seperate
user id, and then use procmail and spamassassin to filter out spam
mail.  The procmail script forwards non-spam to mailman. I use James
H. spam integration for messages which might be spam and should be
moderated by hand.

I plan to make and updated version of James Henstridge's spam
integration:

a) use mailheaders instead of piping the message to spamassassin
to SpamAssassin.py

b) make 'discard' the default option for messages tagged as 'probably
spam'.

Regards,

Pieter
