[Mailman 2.1] On Privacy Options -> Sender Filters, the option one above
the bottom: 'Action to take for postings from non-members for which no
explicit action is defined.'.  Select the option of your choice: Discard
to just throw them away, Reject to send a bounce.

The option underneath specifies whether you should get sent a copy of
discarded messages.  I have this set to 'Yes' just in case someone posts
from an unknown address.
