But Michael's solution applies to all mail to any Mailman list or
list-* address.

I assume Brad is thinking of header_filter_rules which have to be set
per list and apply only to mail to the list and list-owner addresses.

Michael's solution doesn't require procmail per se, but it depends on
Mailman mail passing through some filter ahead of the mail wrapper
which will drop the SA flagged mail.
