I see. I think your best bet is to use the KNOWN_SPAMMERS setting
then. It's either that or hack mailman yourself (or convince someone
else to do it).

True, if it was being added, might as well have the behave as similar
features elsewhere in mailman.

Sure, why not? :)

Yeah, I meant the latter.

Bah! :)
The mailman code is pretty easy to follow, assuming you have a basic
knowledge of coding in general. I've hacked mailman to do little
things here and there and I'd still say I don't know python. I'd be
at a loss to sit down and write a decent python program to do
anything, but tweaking something that's already close to what I want
seems rather simple.

Maybe so, you're assuming though that a) Barry or one of the other
developers will think this feature request is important enough to work
on before many others; and b) that Barry sleeps at all. ;-)
