Sourceforge uses mailman. I find it rather annoying. It keeps pestering

I run a couple of lists and don't have such a problem.
Instead of rejecting messages from non-subscribers out of hand, or rejecting
messages for other similar reasons, it queues it up, and bugs me to manually
remove the message from the queue.
You can configure automatic behaviour for these things if you don't want
to be pestered.
I find nothing in Sourceforge's mailman interface to tell it to STOP it from
pestering me to manually cancel messages mailman intercepted and did not
distribute to the list: messages from nonsubscribers, suspected spam,
huge messages, and so on.
It's gotten to the point where I actually wrote a Perl script to handle
mailman's obnoxiousness automatically.
Care to share? I am curious about what things it deals with. It may be
of interest to the rest of us for similar reasons.
It runs the 'admindb' command, parses the HTML output to get the list of
message numbers in the admin queue, then sends a POST nuking everything.
