	For those who are interested, my understanding is that these 
issues can also be handled via the "dispose" command-line tool that I 
recently mentioned here, or the "bulk-vette" program that David 
Champion recently mentioned.  See the archives of the 
mailman-developers list for more information.

	Also note that you can incorporate anti-spam/anti-virus filtering 
programs such as SpamAssassin into your MTA or called via procmail 
before delivery to Mailman, and then use Mailman's built-in spam 
processing features to automatically detect and toss the majority of 
the spam you get.

	See the Mailman FAQ for more information on these alternative methods.


	Please note that I'm not saying that what you've provided here is 
not useful.

	Indeed, I think that this is a good idea for a web-oriented way 
to handle the same sorts of things as the "dispose" or "bulk-vette" 
scripts, and I think it's good to have multiple different ways to 
solve the same problems.
