I have a better suggestion -- upgrade to the most recent version of mailman.
The new version of mailman has an option to automatically discard any message that's from someone who isn't subscribed to the list. It still sends them a message explaining the problem, but the admin doesn't have to see it.
In my experience on another whole set of lists that I manage, this works wonderfully. The amount of spam that admins have to deal with goes to an absolute zero.

Some of the mailing lists are getting, and their admins regularly rejecting, a fair amount of spam.
I'm going to see if I can get SpamAssassin set up to cull some of the more wretchedly obvious stuff out before it gets to mailman.
