Thanks all for your answers and suggestions!
I got some help and found the parameter I needed to change:
*generic_nonmember_action* (privacy): Action to take for postings from
non-members for which no explicit action is defined.
Cheers,
Léa

Hello all,
I hope that this is the right list to ask about Mailman's admin options,
if
not, let me know where I should ask :)
I'm looking for someone to help me with the config of a mailing-list, to
reactivate the semi-automated spam filter.
I'm one of the admins on the Wikidata mailing-list. A while ago, to
prevent
my newsletter to be considered as spam because it
included too many
links,
I changed something in the config of the
mailing-list, I don't remember
exactly what, but it was about not filtering spam for the admins
anymore,
and sending each single spam email (or emails
from non-registered users)
to
the ML owners. Since then we end up with tons of
emails in our mailboxes
everyday. I tried to reactivate this "pre-filter" feature, but I can't
remember where it is and how to do it right.
Does anyone have a clue about how to fix this? Thanks in advance :)
I'm not a pro when it comes to mailman. So, I couldn't give explicit
answers. Anyways, I found the following articles which might possibly
help you:
* Mailman Administrators FAQ
https://blink.ucsd.edu/technology/email/services/lists/admin/faq.html
(In particular, the "List moderation and spam" section)
* Mailman: List Configuration Options
