Soft blacklisting within your amavisd.conf perhaps?  For example, the
email you sent to the list arrived with the following SA headers:

X-Spam-Score: -3.601                                                            
                                               
X-Spam-Level:                                                                   
                                               
X-Spam-Status: No, score=-3.601 tagged_above=-999 required=5                    
                                               
        tests=[BAYES_00=-2.599, L_P0F_UNKN=2, SPF_HELO_PASS=-0.001,             
                                               
        SPF_PASS=-0.001]                

The scores sum to -0.601; however I have soft-whitelisting of all mail
coming from this mailing list so the score is knocked down "silently" by
an additional 3.0.
