It fixes it for the Mailman host, yes. It's still wasting some
bandwidth and may indicate more serious problems on an intermediate
host. Typically it's not a problem at either the last hop or the
apparent sender, so quite painful to trace in the absence of headers.

Actually, I'm talking about this kind of thing:
Received: from shako.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp [130.158.97.253]
by uwakimon.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp with POP3 (fetchmail-6.3.17)

(JST)

Received-SPF: none (imss02.cc.tsukuba.ac.jp: 207.172.156.132 is neither

where the top three Receiveds would really not give me any useful
information beyond what I can get from logs in the tsukuba.ac.jp
domain.
Stripping three of the four headers might be worthwhile in the OP's
case.
