This has been discussed a few times.  The short version is that this
list is hosted by apache.org.  They spam scan posts to their mailling
lists and they aren't interested in making changes to accomodate a
single list.

The net result is that if you want to include a spam sample, you need to
put it on a web server and link to it.  If you want to refer to a spammy
url, alter it so the url blacklists don't catch it.

Fair enough.

That's what puzzles me - there was no spam sample, just regular 
discussion.

If their rejection didn't specify hits, you can always take your
message, run it through SA and see what it hits.

Alternately, send it directly to me and I'll let you know what it hits
on my system.
