Yahoo groups (egroups) messages will always have a header of
Mailing-List: list [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Other listservers will have similar headers, eg. Listserv
(www.lsoft.com) uses the Sender header, eg
Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Is it possible to whitelist an address based on fields other than the
>From line for these headers/tags?  Something like:

whitelist_mailing-list      [EMAIL PROTECTED]
whitelist_sender            [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Such a user_pref would be VERY difficult for spammers to spoof as they
would have to know what list each of their spam targets are using.  If
it's not there in SA now, please consider this an official request for
the feature...

I don't know what the other major listservers use (listproc, majordomo,
etc), but since there are a relatively small number of packages, it
should be relatively easy to figure out what each is using.
