Mailman notifies the sender when it holds a message, right?  So for our 
lists reviewing the queue seems pointless.  We need to make sure that 
replies to spam don't stick around too long (since they presumably can't 
be delivered).

If you can solve the problem without greylisting, go for it.  But 
greylisting seems pretty easy, pretty maintenance free, and pretty 
foolproof (well, till the spammers work around it), especially compared 
to spamassassin.  And it has the advantage of postfix dropping many 
spams before they're on the box, rather than mailman dropping them after 
they're taking up space.
