I don't know how far spammers might go, particularly for high-exposure
lists like yours, but a Received: header could probably quite easily be
forged, and Mlmmj's rather simple access method may well not be able to
distinguish between that and a sensible set of Received headers.
Do the GMANE servers implement SenderID/SPF and/or Domainkeys/DKIM? If
you can set up your MTA to validate one or both of those, add a header,
and then check that header for Mlmmj access purposes, it would be more
secure.
