Just don't use recipes based on content.
Or, instead skip certain recipes for lists such as procmail. If you use a
cumulative score approach, where several factors add up to equate to a
spam, it is possible to still filter a list for spam, but exclude certain
factors - or to say that a very large number of HTML comment constructs is
more spammy than four or five, and that a list such as procmail has an
"allowance" for spammish stuff.
That's what I do. Procmail list relayed messages start with a negative
spammish score, so there needs to be more spam factors than would otherwise
be required. The truly spammy things still get filtered, but most mere
discussions of technique don't get clobbered. Of course, if some moron
wants to post gobs of his spam (as if the users here are subscribed so that
they can get copies of other peoples' spam), then the message is likely to
be categorized for what it is.
