I guess, but .signatures and legal disclaimers are very common.  I
would think that triggering on headers and footers would get Very
Important Stuff from vendors and customers spam-trapped.

I would think that build up a list's credibility.

That really is.

A lot of people seem to like Dream Host.  They eventually have to move
to Mailman 3 unless they want to support both Mailman 2 and Python 2,
though.

I have to say that I learned to have a lot of respect for the senior
technical staff at Google and Yahoo! during the DMARC and ARC design
processes.  They really did know what they were doing.  I don't have
an active Yahoo! account, but Google does quite a good job of trapping
spam and tracking trends in spam.  Yes, they're that big, but they're
also good at what they do.

Anyway, let us know if we can help.  I don't know anything about Dream
Host's dashboard etc, but sometimes we can help with advice on
settings that seem to work for our Mailman lists and for other admins
who report their status occasionally.
