There is a FAQ entry on how to integrate Mailman with TMDA.
IIRC, it is one of the longest, most extensive, and most complex FAQ
entries.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm pretty violently opposed
to TMDA in general.

I'm not sure I would be opposed to a feature where posts to a

being displayed in the moderation queue (thus eliminating most spam
where the sender's address is forged), but that's about as far as I
would go.
