Just write a rule for the address of that mailing list like so:

header MAILING_LIST_BRAVO  Received =~ /bravo\.net/
describe MAILING_LIST_BRAVO        Received form the Bravo mailing list
score MAILING_LIST_BRAVO   -4

Just customize it to the correct domain or address

Subject: Approaches to handling mail lists

Dear Spamassassin User List,

Thanks for the excellent program. It has proven to be very effective.

I am looking for a good way to handle mail list that go through
spamassassin. It should be able to handle both moderated and unmoderated
lists. It should also be user configurable so that I do not have to change
the system configuration file each time a user adds a mail list.

I currently provide procmail to filter either the tag in the Subject line or
the list id in the header to sort into my mail list buckets for the users
here. This is done at the user level. Subject tags always work even if
spamassassin tags it as spam. The List id is lost in the attached spam
email. I would like to have the mail list filter all mail into the mail list
bucket, even if it is spam.

In a previous thread some one mention using the following:

whitelist_from_rcvd  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

to white list all mail for spamassassin and I can easily show my users how
to do this. This should allow those user that are listed in RBLs or whose
mailer isn't liked by spamassassin to make it into the bucket.

My concern now is for the unmoderated or unfiltered mail list. How can I put
the mail into the correct bucket and tag the real spam as spam?

We do not mind having FPs since we do not use spamassassin to delete mail,
through procmail of course. 

What would be nice is a user configurable option such as maillist that could
have a user set value, say -4, and not the -100 from whitelist.

Thanks,
Jens
