I'm setting up a secret email which subscribes to mailman.
Eventually all mails sent to mailman, gets sent to this email and posted to respective forums.

In case anyone knows about this secret email address, is it possible to filter only emails from mailing list.

Also, mailman sends out monthly reminders with passwords, how would one handle these?

Me too. This begin to be a persistent problem. In fact, the secret email that I use with mailman was discovered by some spammers. The results are that each night some idiots write to that email address, listhandler process the request and create a user, and create also a forum message.
The forum message shouldn't be created, also because I receive only a message with text in the subject, but with the empty body.
I configured drupal forum not to allow posts with less than 1 word in the body, but the message is unfortunately created...
anyway, I suggest please to add a rule that check that the message is coming from mailman, I think it shouldn't be so difficult, I hope...

Not per se a Listhandler issue more a mailhandler issue. Have you asked in the forums of mailhandler how somebody solved such a situation? While not impossible to add such a thing to Listhandler it is not a bug but feature.
