Alright..  It's looking great.  It certainly helped to get upgraded to
the mailman/unstable. :)  There's a bunch of new features in there.
Thanks for your help folks!!!

I think I did understand.  I like Eric's idea also.  Do what works best
for 
you.  I think this can be done easily with mailman.

Your marketing department wants a personalized broadcast (non-spam) list
only, 
which masks the sender to whatever you name your list, members are not 
allowed to post to the list (moderated) so there would not be much need
for 
moderation.  Marketing persons could be placed in the non-moderated
role.  
You could hack the Reply To: header if need be so if they do reply it
would 
go to a real address and not to the list.

The list admins who send messages to the list would have his messages
scanned 
for spam and viruses by the amavisd-new scanning framework and either 
quarantined as SPAM prior to delivery to mailman or have mailman filter
the 
post on Subject = SPAM or the SA score in the header and either discard
it or 
hold it.  If all goes well mailman receives the message and tags on the 
personalized "Dear $NAME, blah blah blah" message header.  Done

The mail is then broadcast to all members of the list.
