  Okay, if you know perl (I don't ... I really can't read it !) and want
to help the project here is something you can do which would be really
really useful :
  there is this interface to the mailman administration page at
    http://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~zeitlin/mladmin.html
this is relatively small, but only allows to either approve or discard
all mails accumulated in the list.
What I (and William) would need would be to extend it to automatically
discard mails based on regexp match for the message From/Subject/Headers or
the Excerpt. Those regexp could be stored in $(HOME)/mladmin.conf
like 
------------------
reject from support@
reject subject e-mail account
reject content Content-Type: audio/x-wav
------------------
  Then assuming a new option "filter", the modified version would
POST the discards automatically. To get a better idea I have put a version
of the kind of pages to be loaded at
  http://veillard.com/xml-admin.html

  Well, if you want to help the project (and potentailly others having to
deal with bounces in mailman) that's a very good way, even if you don't
know C :-)
