[SPAM] - Re: [ewg] Re: Dropped OpenFabrics list messages (!) - Email found in subject

I don't know if this is possible, but why not just have list subscribers 
bypass the SPAM filter.  Those people that aren't subscribers will get 
the usual filtering applied.  Seems to me this would keep the SPAM 
situation the same and only inconvenience those non-subscribers that 
happen to trigger the SPAM filter.  Again, I'm not sure if this is 
technically feasible, but it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to 
implement.
