I think the thread got a bit confusing, the above remarks about SPF was to clarify "spoofed senders". I didn't want to suggest that SPF be used for mailman filtering. Sorry for the confusion. What I tried to suggest is that mailman *can* filter mail since these sites are unlikely to spoof enveleope senders in a way that violates SPF. Whether this can be done by using mailman's sender filters or by using procmail before mailman needs to be checked.
