The way I approached this was I sort of built a new front end. (Thank you Mark for your help!)
Instead of people starting at the default Mailman 'advertised lists" page I sent everyone here: http://e-aa.org/maillist.html I created new lists and moved all the subscribers. I edited the HTML in the /mailman/listinfo/list_name_here pages so there were no mailto: links, there is a typed out address if people really want to get in touch with the moderators. If you follow the link to the administrative page for each list it has a mailto: link that discards all the mail that comes in. On our website we have 2 email addresses in public view with mailto: links used for support purposes, we change these whenever the spam level gets irritating. This has worked very well, every once in a while someone becomes a spam bot, we track them down and encourage them to clean their computer, other than that we have no spam to our lists.
