Thank you for the questions, Marc,
but indeed, I had posed them to myself more than once in the
past. AFAIK, it's not easily possible, at least not for those
that are caught by Mailman's filters {which for some lists I
made trigger on the spamassassin "*"s}.
Of course we could file a mailman feature request for this.. any
volunteers?
The 'much more probable' spam is not fed to Mailman at all but
put into spam-mailboxes which I skim through somewhat regularly
but not entirely systematically. Also, these (4 and more '*')
messages are very rarely false positives. These then need even
more manual work, and are actually repostings (though not
visibly in the visible mail headers IIRC) with the advantage
that I could easily add "editorial remarks".
