Ok. I'll have a look.

Sounds good. I have no experience with that myself, as I filter spam 
earlier in the chain using AMaViS on the servers I administrate myself.

Hmm - now that I think about it I might actually be able to improve that 
setup: Curious about the approach you take :-D

Don't get too excited: Mailman really has no machine-readable interface, 
so listadmin is a crude hack attempting to interpret the html code. It 
works reasonably well if using english interface and not customizing the 
html templates. I cleaned up the i18n parsing somewhat for Debian 
recently (so grab that even if using on a Fedora system, if upstream 
haven't release newer version since).

A much better mailinglist manager is Sympa, providing (in addition to 
mail and html) an XML-RPC interface...!
