	So apparently the system ignores the fact that messages come
	from a mailing list, and treats them as if they came directly
	from the original sender's address. And then wrongly marks some
	as spam. So it's doing it wrongly, twice.

	Adding a rule to stop it filtering messages with trait
	'comes-from-cypher-whatever' works, but it seems to be slightly
	misaligned with the modern philosophy of "automatic system
	built for retards, I mean, for Important People Too Busy To
	Learn Anything".
