Mailman can filter list posts based on a match to '***SPAM***' in the Subject, but this won't apply to mail to the -bounces address. If there is a different Lsoft group I should be asking questions to, can someone point me in the correct direction? Apologies for posting to the wring group! Mailman-users@python.org is the correct list. Barry Finkel was not saying you should post to Lsoft. He was saying that `listserv` is a registered trademark of Lsoft and should not be used generically to refer to Mailman lists.
