Neither is required.  Merely front the list with TMDA.  Unsubscribed
posters, such as remailer users then just need to confirm their
addresses to the list to be able to post.  Spammers who never confirm
never make it to the list.  The rare spammers who do confirm are easily
tracked and blacklisted.  If you really need to support double blind
remailers just log the TMDA confirms to a central site where they can be
browsed.  Double blind remailers then pick up the confirm tokens for
their own posts and punch them thru to the list.

This is quite easy to do.  I wrote the HOW-TO for Mailman atop Exim,
there's another HOW-TO for Mailman atop Qmail, and extrapolating from
either of those to Majordomo or other list servers or MTAs is not
difficult.
