Normally, message that are probably spam are tagged

If you use procmail, you just have to set filter like this one

:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
$MAILDIR/spam


I'm not sure at all that admin will appreciate to be forced
to use the mailman administrative interface to remove spams.

You probably can get more details here
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/monty-python
and get in touch with people that deal with the spam issue.

this is what I asked about!!!
it is not enough for the mail messages to be scanned - 
your mailing list software must redirect suspected mail
to the mailing list admin for approval!!!
is this being done for the @gnu.org mailing lists?
