I suspect that even tagging messages as probably spam would be enough
for most people that care about it, and is the way to go.

One huge advantage the list server has over my system is that it knows
who the list of subscribed users is. I find that my most successful
spam rule is the one that tags anything bcc'd to me as spam unless the
sender is known. Unfortunately, this doesn't usually seem to work for
lists; for some reason spam to lists almost always includes the list
address.
