[pianotech] Somewhat OT -- Spam Software

Hi Paul,
That's interesting, because I haven't changed my Gmail filters at all, and
messages from all lists continue to be filtered appropriately.  My filter
uses the "list:" keyword, which I would have guessed needed changing to the
new server if the List-Id header changed.  But perhaps Gmail is looking at
multiple factors; there are a half-dozen List-* headers in the recent
messages.

Since this came up, I looked a little further back and did find two messages
in my Spam bucket that I missed before that shouldn't have been filtered
out, so perhaps I am seeing what you described.

Jim
