Right, but it seems like James is saying Exim4 isn't doing that. I poked around the MM config for the chic...@python.org mailing list, but for the life of me couldn't find the setting where it holds messages with X-Spam-Score with spam or unsure values. (We use SpamBayes on mail.python.org.) I know it's there somewhere, but I can never find such nuggets. Mail.python.org has a very mature Postfix setup. It's all magic to me (well, except for the SpamBayes part), but I think publishing a small document about the configuration might be worthwhile.

Right, but it seems like James is saying Exim4 isn't doing that.
If the mails are being scored (which was mentioned), then I would be
inclined to deal with those before they're accepted -- let alone
before they get to Exim's handling (routing) for Mailman.
I poked around the MM config for the chic...@python.org mailing list,
but for the life of me couldn't find the setting where it holds
messages with X-Spam-Score with spam or unsure values. (We use
SpamBayes on mail.python.org.) I know it's there somewhere, but I can
never find such nuggets.
I have a couple of ACLS (for check_message): the 'magic' I use is
condition = ${if {$spam_score_int}{60}{1}{0}}
(A SpamAssassin score 6)
For drop/discard/reject, maybe see
https://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20090116.101052.18c04deb.en.html
In my view (but your mailsystem, your rules), high scored Spam
shouldn't be accepted; so score it, and deal with it at SMTP time;
deal with the others once accepted.

We are getting bombarded with spam, messages are tagged by Spamassasin, but for some reason Exim4 still sends these to Mailman. Evaluating numbers by regexp is finicky, but there's a SpamAssassin setting that makes it provide a header with as many stars as the message got spam points. Then you just filter on r^X-Spam-Stars: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* (where you need to substitute the real header name for X-Spam-Stars, of course). Right, and while it is still best to do this ahead of Mailman, Mailman's Privacy options... - Spam filters - header_filter_rules is the place to do it in Mailman.
