[Tfug] Mailman, Postfix and SpamAssassin (oh my)

[tfug@tfug.org]

I'm not sure if you're going to get procmail, a Local Delivery Agent, to
check all mail before it's handed off to Sendmail.
Sounds like you need to configure mailman so that it only allows
subscribers to post to the list. The Tfug list, using Mailman, is
configured this way.
