-owner email is a spam haven

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think we need to get rid of the -owner email. I'm getting a lot of spam to it
now. I would accept just putting it in the moderator hold. If someone wants to
get a hold of the list owner, maybe we should make a mini messaging service via
the webapp layer.

How about a digest option for the -owner?

We host a couple of Mailing lists and people are quite happy about the -owner as
they do get help requests on that address.

IMHO A workable solution would be something like:

 * pass mail from subscribed senders
 * Optional: deliver all other messages (or subject lines with link to the held
message archive) in a daily/weekly/$interval digest mode
 * Notify in $INTERVALS about how many messages are held for -owner (that option
could also be reused for a digest notification for "normal" held messages)

The new version rejects mail to the list when sent from the list-owner address, 
which might cut down the amount of spam.  There may be other obvious spam 
behaviors we can block.
