	Mailman has very limited tools for matching regular expressions, 
etc....  You're really much better off catching this sort of thing in 
an external tool like procmail, and then having procmail (or 
whatever) feed the remaining messages to Mailman.

	Search the Mailman FAQ Wizard for "procmail" for details.
