Did a bit more mail system hacking, and wrote a filter to get mailman to talk to SpamAssassin directly:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=534577&group_id=103&atid=300103

This one asks spamd to score each message that is posted to a list. If the message goes above a particular score (configurable, default 10), it gets discarded. If it goes above another threshold (default 5), the message gets held for moderation. It probably needs a bit more tweaking to skip posts from listmembers (among other things). I mainly wrote this patch because the PyGTK mailing list currently gets more spam than real messages, which is a bit depressing, and a pain to moderate.
