Why not create an external Perl program to run out of cron and then have it
execute the Mailman list_lists program?  In the external program have it
parse the output from lists_lists the way you want it and then store
that in a tied db file.  Within mimedefang-filter, have it tie into the same
db file to determine what's a valid list.  

If you're not familiar with using a tied db file, look through the
archives of the list for the various greylist implementations for code
samples.
