Calmail Marking Mailing List Email as Spam

Hello,

I've looked around for any previous discussion of this, but only found a
thread about spam filtering in Eudora.

We send out occasional emails to people on relatively small mailing
lists. We use majordomo lists from lists.berkeley.edu. I've just been
informed that a recent email sent to the list was marked as spam by Calmail.

I haven't been able to find any information about what rules the Calmail
filtering system uses, so I do not now how to get around this problem.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Any ideas? It appears that Sophos (the
filtering software apparently used by the campus) does not appear to
publish details about how their filter works.

Note that this was definitely Calmail, and not the user's client, since
it showed up with the [SPAM:XXXXXXXX] prefix attached to the subject line.

Thanks,
Alan Hogue
