You can do this a couple of ways in Mailman. The recommended way is a
custom handler (because it survives Mailman upgrades). See the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/l4A9>.

The handler itself would be extremely simple, e.g. just the following
two lines.


def process(mlist, msg, msgdata):
    del msg['newsgroups']


This removes the header in the pipeline before the message is delivered
to the list.

Another possibility is to delete the header in Mailman's cron/gate_news
before the message is queued in Mailman. This would require adding the
line

                del msg['newsgroups']

just before the lines

                # Post the message to the locked list
                inq = get_switchboard(mm_cfg.INQUEUE_DIR)

in cron/gate_news. This change is simpler than implementing the custom
handler, but it requires re-applying the change following any Mailman
update.
