1) What is the best practice approach to dealing with these messages? I have simply been discarding them. If I reject them, will that send a response back that might make an automated sender drop my list address from their list as a non-working address? Or is that wishful thinking?
These issues are mostly larger than Mailman and more SMTP related than any thing else. As such, traditional SMTP anti-spam solutions are probably the best fix here.
The first things that come to mind are - SPF - Domain Keys - Something like Sendmail's "protected recipients" or comparable.
2) Is there some way to automatically reject or discard mail with implicit destination rather than holding it for moderation? The users of this particular list do not (ever) intentionally use an implicit destination so I wouldn't mind just automating that. There doesn't seem to be a setting on the Recipient Filters page of Privacy options.
I don't think that Mailman currently does this, but I'm betting that others can come up with a way to make it do it.
