Mailing list manager...  It's a tough job, but somebody said you had to do
it.

Get minions.  Select a few people to deal with it, we do that on the BLUG
list with success.  There's also a spamassassin patch in the mailman patch
manager on sourceforge, and we're running that with success.  I think you
can tell it to drop spam, but we have it hold the message for moderator
dealing.
