OK some more investigation. All the d-u mails, getting listed as spam,
have X-Spam-Checker-Version, X-Spam-Level and X-Spam-Status, in their
headers. For eg. one of the mails has:
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.2.3 (2007-08-08) on liszt.debian.org
X-Spam-Level:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.1 required=4.0 tests=MDO_DATING2 autolearn=no version=3.2.3
Andrei's mails and the mutt mailing list mails do not have these
headers.
