Typically, the mailing list functionality and the end-user funcionality
should be separated. When an incoming message to the mailing list enters
your mail stack, it should be scanned, and if it's spam, it should not
be sent to the mailing list users. typical mailing ;list behaviour. You
can retrain if it was a FP by using that available header. So far so
good for mailing list functionality.
Then the mailing list mail should be sent to end users. If the end user
is using a spam filtering engine (f.i. dspam), the mail server should
make sure to remove stuff that will confuse the filtering process.
Typically, you should remove any dspam (signature) header from incoming
messages, since they aren't added by your setup. I use postfix header
checks to rename DSPAM headers to X-External-Dspam-blahblah to make sure
they don't mess up my system. You should also do this before the mailing
list gets external mail, since some people setup DSPAM for outgoing mail
too, but still add headers.
When you've setup both functionalities in one postfix config, you'd
better be splitting that up. F.i. using a multi instance setup in
Postfix, thus having a dedicated mailing list instance.
