This really helps on my lists. It's a bit of a pain to administer,
though, I have to click on each of 30-40 messages per day to tell
Mailman it's spam, and proper submissions could easily be lost among
the spam.

It is possible to subscribe using several addresses, and select "No
Mail" for all but one of them in the Mailman web interface. You can't
use an invalid address for posting (it can't be invalid at the time of
subscribing, anyway) but you can make it easily identifiable so that
mail to that address can be filtered out if an address harvester
happens upon a list archive. Common techniques for tagging an address
are [EMAIL PROTECTED], or user+localpart@domain (common in Sendmail
installations), or user-localpart@domain (Qmail).
