We give the list owners and site administrator the option of
choosing how to configure their lists. So, the choice of who to
send the bill to would end there.
And to really solve the backscatter issue in this case would require
that we integrate tightly enough into the MTA that the processing
could be done while the sender is held open. The options in that
space are mostly specific to a given MTA, although postfix also
supports the sendmail milter interface in addition to the preferred
policyd method.
If you wanted to be of service to the community, you could always
write a milter in Python that would go through all the same checks
that Mailman would do and indicate back to the MTA whether or not
the message would be accepted.
Mailman 3 will also probably support LMTP as the default local
delivery mechanism, which I think will address the same issues.
