[Mailman-Users] How do I discard spam first, then hold non-member posts for moderation?

It seems that if generic_nonmember_action is set to hold, all
non-member posts are held, regardless of what happens with the spam
filters.  

All my email is sent through SpamAssassin first for tagging before
being processed by Mailman.  The setting for generic_nonmember_action
is set to hold.  I have the following spam filter rules:

Filter rule 1:

X-Spam-HitLevel: xxxxx

is set to discard.  Filter rule 2:

X-Spam-Flag: YES

is also set to discard.  These are the exact entries in the filter
rules.  

But when ever spam is sent to the mailing list, it seems that because
generic_nonmember_action is set to hold, the spam message is held
instead of discarding as according to the spam filter.  

Does anyone know why this is happening?  How do I fix this?  Any help
would be appreciated.  Thanks.
