I've only been able to scratch at the surface, since all the MIT mailing
lists are despammed as a group and out of our control. It appears the
usual spam scoring system is applied, but with extra ferocity. So
everything you can do to reduce the spamminess is good. The content of
the message doesn't seem to be as important as the headers. Having a
"reply-to" address is bad. Having a "cc:", "bcc:" or multiple "to:"
addresses is bad. Using a relay is bad. At home I have given up on using
a mail client since it goes through my ISP's SMTP server which is not
ftml.net, because that really raises the spam score. So I am using the
webmail client when I send mail to the Piclist.

It can be annoying but I gave up and I just work around it now.

Cheerful regards,

Bob
