Thanks.  I got a chance to look at this today.  Since I only need an 
indication of whether or not the message will be rejected by mailman, I 
believe that I can use SpamDetect and Approve directly.  However, I'd 
need to make sure that messages aren't held as a result of the 
examination.  I'm not sure yet whether it'll be less ugly to make a 
work-alike function from Moderate.process(), leaving out the Hold bits, 
or perhaps import Moderate, and then replace Hold therein with one that 
does nothing.  Any thoughts before I start?
