[Mailman-Users] Mapping -owners alias to a separate list

Hey, guys.

I have a multi-admin list which has a number of administrators that is
greater than one who all are volunteer admins.  The side effect is that
the -owners alias tends to get spammed - and in some cases, it can get
spammed quite profusely.  (Coming to mind are spams from fqdn qq.com -
which I had to block by telling Postfix to bounce everything coming
"From: *@qq.com".)

To this end, I don't wish to do too much more at the MTA level unless
it gets bad again, but aliases tends to send it over to 'mailman list
admins' which in turn emails the admins as expected - but that means
*everything* gets through.

So to this end, my thought is to route that mail over to a separate
-admins list instead of 'mailman list admins'.  The expected side
effect is that this will wind up in the -admins list "not-subscribed"
trap.  Is there a better way to do this, or am I good doing that sort of
thing?
