Let me re-state the point:

If the recipient's domain name is in the left hand side of the sender's
address (to the left of the @) then it's probably from a list server. You
could also look for the word "bounce" in the sender address. 

I don't see how sending through an ISP SMTP server is relevant. 

If it's from a mailing list AND from a DUL or listed in SpamCop or
MailPolice, then it's probably junk.

Not a good test. With port 25 blocking becoming more common to force ISP
subscribers to route all email out through the ISP SMTP server the sender
address is likely to show the ISP email address while the From: line will
show whatever email address they normally use depending on the SMTP Auth
setup.
