We've gone through this discussion before. There are lots of
decisions that are made inside of Mailman that the MTA cannot
possibly know anything about.
If you configure your Mailman installation so that it never
rejects a message or ever sends back any kind of notice that the
message has been held for moderation (so that you don't ever generate
any blowback), then you will seriously impact the level of services
that you can provide your subscribers. At that point, you have to
seriously question whether or not it's worth running a mailing list
at all.
Moreover, I'm pretty sure that you will be running a pretty
highly hacked version of Mailman, because there are some things you
can turn off, but there are others that I don't believe you can. At
that point, you're not likely to be able to get a lot of help on this
mailing list.
