I think these all should be non-controversial. Let me know if I'm mistaken.
1. The overall amount of mail sent through discussion lists is small relative to direct (person-to-person) mail or to broadcast (one-to-many) mail. 2. Lists do a good enough job of managing the mail that they forward that recipients generally do not worry about spam filtering mail from lists to which they've subscribed. (Bozo filtering of legit but stupid messages doesn't count as spam filtering.) 3. The most common way for spam to get into a list in recent years is for a subscriber's account to be stolen by a spammer who sends spam to addresses in the account's address book. R's, John PS: I'm attempting to describe the way lists work now, not the way they might work at a hypothetical future time. _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
