It wasn't a big deal for me to make the change. I previously posted
through my "own" server -- website and e-mail hosted by Akashik.net --
which adds a variety of "X-" headers. I thought "X-" headers were
actually covered by one of the RFCs and that they are to be discarded.

In fact, Mailman adds its own. This message I'm replying to has these:
X-MDRemoteIP: 192.168.4.7
X-Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
X-MDaemon-Deliver-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
X-BeenThere: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.4

Inbound, Akashik and SpamAssissin add these:
X-MailScanner: Found to be clean, Found to be clean
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.63 (2004-01-11) on tomsk.ip-sys.com
X-Spam-Level: 
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-3.7 required=6.5 tests=BAYES_00,PRIORITY_NO_NAME 
        autolearn=no version=2.63
X-MailScanner-Information: Please contact http://www.akashik.net for more information
X-MailScanner-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]  < munged

To resolve the problem, I simply switched from my "own" mail server to
my ISP's mail server, which doesn't add the stuff Mailman considers
suspicious. It's better than making needless work for the mods and
better than having my breathless (HA!) prose delayed.

More information, probably, than anybody wanted.
