This is on the ToDo list for Mailman 2.1.10. In the mean time see
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=760567&group_id=103&atid=300103>
for a patch.

put these four lines (lines 1 and 3 at the left margin, lines 2 and 4
indented 4 spaces) in mm_cfg.py.

try:
    del OWNER_PIPELINE[OWNER_PIPELINE.index('SpamDetect')]
except ValueError:
    pass

This will remove SpamDetect from the pipeline of handlers through which
messages to list-owner are processed, thus skiping the processing of
header_filter_rules and mm_cfg.KNOWN_SPAMMERS for mail to the
list-owner addresses.
