Hello,
Have you tried with header filters at <
https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/wikipedia-en-editfilters.lists.wikimedia.org/header-matches/
>?
E.g. you may create a filter for the X-Spam-Score header added by
SpamAssasin, and set a value such as [^+]*[+]{4,} so all emails with a
x-spam-score value equal or more than 4 get rejected/discarded (at the
admins' wish).
I don't quite remember right now, but I think mailman3 header filters do
apply to subscribers as well, even if their moderation policy is set to
"accept immediately", as apparently these rules seem to apply on top of
every other rule/setting and one must be careful, but a SpamAssasin value
of 4 or more should be pretty safe/accurate though.
What I miss in mailman3 (and existed in mailman2 IIRC) is the possibility
to hold for moderation messages from new subscribers only (getting
automatically removed from the moderation queue after X days and/or Y
accepted posts), instead of the current all-or-none approach (I've been
looking for that option but it seems not to exist anymore).
Best regards, M.
