Mailman has no concept of -owner emails being moderated, which is a major issue with 2.1.x. [basic]

SpamAssassian is not configured to actively reject emails and we have no intention of doing so as it's not the most reliable method of determining off-hand emails plus because people don't support educating it effectively enough (by discarding and accepting mailman moderated messages), it is not the best indicator at all.

The solution would be blacklisting and moderation at the MTA level (exim4) but in this past and still now, we have no intention of doing this as its another arbitrary list operations have to maintain which is great for list y but for list x and z, it does more damage than good.

Unfortunately the answer is, you'll have to handle this on your side :(
