Apologies then. Generally there is little or no spam that gets past the 
mailing list spam filters. I had been taking the opportunity while spam was 
arriving on the list to try and find out how to setup bogofilter to deal with 
mailing list spam. Someone on the list said they were using bogofilter, which 
is why I started this thread, with the hope that I might get some clues as to 
how to deal with spam coming from mailing lists.

Now that the Debian guys have resolved the spam problem, it's become a bit of 
a lost cause, as I no longer have any mailing list spam to test bogofilter 
with.
