Maybe it doesn't, and that's enough reason to not use the corpora upload
option, and instead run mass-check yourself with trusted_networks defined
in spamassassin/user_prefs?

Well, we whitelist servers which have been set up to forward all mail,
which are forwarding spam.  And I'm not sure if that's different enough
from a mailing list, which we've effectively asked to send us everything
posted to the mailing list.

And I think we should do one or the other, not both.  Either include all
mailing list servers in trusted_networks *or* count spam from a mailing
list against the mailing list server.
