Actually it's more of a mailman setup question, as in "why don't mailing list messages go through procmail (which handle bogofilter and other such stuff)?" and "how do I set up mailman in a postfix environment so that filters, for example virus checkers, get run to protect the list from propagating bad stuff, e.g. viruses.
Actually, no. This has less to do with Mailman than it does with getting these kinds of features into your MTA. Postfix is quite capable of doing that, as is sendmail, Exim, and every other MTA that I am familiar with. Indeed, most MTAs have a wide variety of ways in which these kinds of features can be integrated.
We have highlighted a few in the Mailman FAQ Wizard at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py> (such as FAQ 6.12, which discusses the integration of postfix, Mailman, and amavisd for anti-spam and anti-virus scanning), or FAQ 4.15 (which provides a different method of integrating procmail into the message flow), FAQ 4.23 (which mentions both of these methods as well as a patch to integrate SpamAssassin directly into Mailman itself).
Alternatively, you could also incorporate a Python-based anti-spam filter directly into Mailman. We do that for python.org with SpamBayes.
If you spend some time digging around in the FAQ and in the archives, you may very well turn up several more answers. See FAQ 1.18 for a variety of ways you can search the archives.
