I don't think so.  Someone has to edit that ezmlm file (DIR/mimeremove
or something like that) directly.

I suppose all of the DIR/mimeremove files could be soft-linked to
a single one, but that would force all lists to agree on a list of
MIME types to refuse.

Maybe change the list-creation procedure to copy in a default
mimeremove file that blocks the commonly-known-to-be-lame MIME
types, and list owners could optionally ask that those types be
re-enabled after the list is created.
