It might be worth mentioning that, as the system administrator, some
low-impact spam filtering might be in order, to stop these messages
from even reaching Mailman. A conservatively configured bayesian
filter, for example, which you feed the spam messages to, should be
able to reduce the amount of spam you receive without generating false
positives.
