python-list is a spam-moderated list. 95+% of spam is filtered out.
Its not just the Subject, but also the fake Sender. There are at least five
distinct senders which are (apparently) defamatory messages in Italian.
This person actively evades our filters.
They're all pretty obvious spam, in all caps, with various email addresses.

The spammer will still be counted,
Why reward someone who actively evades defenses? If you want to count
spam, it is mostly missing, at least as far as python-list is concerned.
comp.lang.python is a mirror of the python-list at python dot org mailing
list, which has an official web archive:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/
These slanderous posts, in particular, are hand-removed from the archive
when they get past the automatic filters. They are no more part of
python-list than other spam.
