As Patrick says in another reply, spam filtering is best done in the
incoming MTA, before it ever gets to Mailman.

However, to answer your question, mail to the -owner address is
processed through a pipeline of handlers defined as OWNER_PIPELINE in
Defaults.py. SpamDetect (i.e.processing of header_filter_rules) is in
that pipeline, but it probably isn't feasable to use
header_filter_rules for this as the same rules apply to list posts,
but you could implement a simple custom handler to discard any message
that didn't have a message-id of the form generated by mailman or a
mailman-like envelope sender or from address and add that to the
OWNER_PIPELINE list.
