Works for me.

Here is the cron line:
45 16 * * * /usr/bin/python2.1 -S /var/mailman/cron/clear-requests listname
Here is the script:
#! /usr/bin/env python
# We can use this and run it differently from the others - !/usr/bin/python
# I configured a list to accept messages from subscribers only
# so that unsubscribers' messages can be approved by admin manually.
# But these days some spammers started to send too many messages
# so deleting those messages takes quite time.
#
# Is there any way to configure mailman delete every messages
# from unsubscribers automatically and do not even notify it
# to the list admin?
# I use this script to do just that. Name it (clear_request) and put it in
# mailman cronjob.
# The default cron job for mailman most likely mails admins at 5pm about
# pending requests so you should run this script at 4:50pm or something.
