I realize that I must deal with my campus server and my local server separately and that everyone else must find their own solutions at the local level. My complaint here is that sourceforge itself as the list server is marking these messages as spam. They should be able to adjust their scoring to accommodate the characteristics of normal content for the lists they serve - one list at a time.
