Re: explanation of the noise

I suspect these lists are running spam filters but they can never get up 
to the same hit rate as personal filters:  One can simply not take the 
risk of false-positives on a list since that basically denies access to a 
list.  Hence, there will always remain a certain amount of 
false-negatives present on a list.  (Which you can fix by running the 
list traffic through a spam filter of your own although I personally 
don't consider it necessary.)
