I don't know how feasible this would be, but I have an idea that I think would satisfy most people and could be rolled out in phases providing better functionality as each phase is deployed.
1. Set up a spam filter that simply tags messages with a special header if it is thought to be spam. This would allow people to set up a simple filter if they want. 2. Allow people to choose to have the messages tagged as possible spam sent to them or not. At this point, client side filters are no longer needed. 3. Watch for responses to messages tagged as spam. If one is seen from a list subscriber, unflag the message as spam and send to the original to those who have opted out of receiving possible spam. 4. Allow people who wish to be spam moderators the ability to tag things as false positives/negatives. This will improve the spam filtering over time and valid messages could be forwarded along. The downside is that there is probably a fair amount of work to be done to make all of this happen. One argument against this is that false positives prior to implementing step 3 would only be seen by part of the the list. But then that is effectively the case right now for anyone who filters spam on their side.
