Well, you want to watch out for greylisting.  But running them through
SpamBayes from Mailman should be trivial.  You could also add (with a
slight performance hit) a Handler that calls out to SpamBayes,
SpamAssassin, etc, only when the MTA didn't already do that, or only
when the message's from_usenet flag is set.

That's probably not a great idea as ToUsenet comes pretty late in the
pipeline.
