Well, this wasn't clearing of Mailman's queue, but of my inbox.
(Technically, a mailbox that slurps up all of the mailman administrative
noise, via a good ol' procmail filter)

At this rate, I'm going to put the onus on the poster.  If they actually
want their message to hit the list, the need to do it properly.
Since it's <making up numbers> 99.999% spam these days, I'd rather not
have to even look at it.

It's not merely mind-numbing because it's tedious... looking at the crap
people send out as spam, and thinking about the fact that _some_ people
apparently fall for it, is a bit depressing. :(
