To distinguish solicited from unsolicited bulk email, you need either local, per-user whitelists or something like SpamAssassin's scoring for DCC hits. I recommend whitelists, because one user's valuable mailing list is another user's offensive spam. However, most DCC installations use SpamAssassin. Some installations use CGI scripts similar to those included in the DCC source and demonstrated at https://www.rhyolite.com/DCC-demo-cgi-bin with user name cgi-demo and password cgi-demo to let users maintain their own white- and blacklists, turn greylisting on or off, set DCC and DCC Reputation thresholds, and so on. In this particular case, the fact that particular mail message has a FUZ2 count of "many" implies that a very similar message was received by a spam trap or reported as spam by a human recipient. That suggests that it might be wise to clean that all mailing lists involving "www.vpsville.ca" and ensure that they are all configured to confirm subscription requests with email messages from new subscribers. To put it politely, there might be some unwilling subscribers.
