I am assuming that you have MailScanner "in front" of your mailman
installation?

The way that I have it set is is to have a second sendmail process
listening on loopback which only accepts mail from a list address.

The incoming message is scanned by MailScanner and passed to mailman.
MailMan then forwards the expanded mail to the second sendmail process
which attempts delivery and will place any deferred entries in the
standard mqueue directory.

This means each message is only scanned once and rules can be applied as
you expect.
