Majordomo does the same thing.  Right now all KK's spams are trapped
due to "invalid approved header", but if he ever found a way around
this (very doubtful, given majordomo's approval system), just set the
"restrict-post" line and all spam is caught.  KK faithfully sends his
spams to my lists every week (and has for years now :-), and every week
they're trapped and sent to me for deletion.  Procmail even deletes them
automatically for me now. :-)  No spam has reached my majordomo-run lists
for over two years now.
