We've been around on this topic before. There is more than ample
information in the headers for a spam filter to know to let through stuff
from this list. E.g., I simply filter by "Any Header contains
-xywrite@ccat." If that condition is satisfied, the message is
automatically transferred to the mailbox I use for Xy-list messages.
