You can probably do this with a procmail filter before anything hits mailman itself. (I filter spam this way.) I have not worked out the details. But the procmail recipe would run a script that would extract the email address from the message, call it "Fromaddress", and then grep Fromaddress /var/log/mailman/subscribe | grep pending and then if that is empty, pass the subscribe message on to the usual place (which, for me is |/etc/smrsh/mailman join [name of list] (This is the line in procmailrc that does it.) Otherwise send the message to spam or /dev/null Sorry about not working out the details, but I thought it might be better to say something rather than nothing.
