Eau contraire, mon frere. ;)

I access the list via gmane.org's newsreader, so the lists I subscribe 
to never hit _my_ mail server. I'm a little surprised that gmane.org's 
server didn't catch it.

Personally, I run spamdyke and spamassassin (part of 
http://qmailtoaster.com/), with excellent results (1-2 or so spams per 
day in my spam folder with none in my inbox). I haven't verified to see 
if this original message would have been rejected by either or not 
though (I don't see the original headers in the newsreader).

Besides which, as I'm sure you know, once the spam is accepted and 
posted by the list server, it's much more difficult (and more resource 
intensive) to detect. This is why I think that it's important for the 
list server to have the best spam controls possible.
