super

 TL> Can this be done with IREX? 

yes, first step is to make a email mailbox to irex, and next step is to make a 
procmail script on it that removes spam headers not wanted in fidonet, when 
headers is minimal then procmail step is done :)

next step is to make irex fetch mail from pop3 and gate it to fidonet, how this 
works i dont know, but irex can do it since i was mailhost for one that did it 

 TL> Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

such as GPL-v2 ? :)

is it btw mailman your list is running on ?, if so it can make nntp 
sending/recieving, dont know if that is helpfull in your setup

else i think of make perl script called from procmail, but i dont know perl 
enough to make one
