[Mailman-Users] Handle announce lists?

My recent problems and the response from certain people leads me to believe that Mailman can't handle large numbers of errors coming back to it.  That's not a shot by any means (hell most of what I wrote can't handle any errors!). And it is probably is a problem with my mailman configuration (setting Reply-To to "/dev/null" here I come), but I'm concerned. Currently my lists are frozen solid, and I'm at a crossroads.

I can't have mailman get plugged up like a public restroom every time it gets mountains of junk. We all know how easy it is to get mountains of junk, and I would like to hear any suggestions that might prevent me from manually spoon feeding files into ~/qfiles. it's gottent to the point where they aren't getting processed by qrunner at all (it is still being croned), and that directory get hopelessly crowded in a matter of minutes... What is a good setup to prevent this? Is it just my system? (Sendmail 8.9.3 - switching to Postfix next week, Mailman 2.0.6, Python 1.5, RedHat 6.2, tons of RAM, PIII, RAID5 SCSI).

Thanks
