A suggestion:

If you're going to send a spam-filter snippet to the list, try to
avoid attaching it as plain text. Certain key strings (such as the
"*ull's *ye *old" in the recent example) may trigger filters.

Huh?  Just white-list this (and any other subscribed) mailing list
before filtering on subject or content.  That's easy and I believe
has been suggested numerous times as a necessity for any reasonable
content-based spam detector.

    You must be joking, this list is the only one through which I still
receive spam.
