What is happening is the message is detected as spam and a notise is sent to the listname-owner address with subject "%(listname)s post from %(sender)s requires approval" with the appropriate substitutions for %(listname)s and %(sender)s. Since this subject matches .*[spam].*, the message to the owner is identified as spam and the whole thing goes again. The solution is to not use regexps which will match the subject of the owner notification or, since this is not completely under your control, remove 'SpamDetect' from OWNER_PIPELINE, i.e. put # This is the pipeline which messages sent to the -owner address go through OWNER_PIPELINE = [ # 'SpamDetect', 'Replybot', 'OwnerRecips', 'ToOutgoing', ] im mm_cfg.py. As far as not including the message body in the notice because of its getting caught in external to Mailman spam filters is concerned, short of hacking the code or not sending the immediate notifications, there's not much you can do.
