Spamassassin handles mailing lists very well.  Really, if someone has 
fallen foul of Spamassassin, then the problem is at their end.  I now 
get over 200 peices of spam every day - the dubious ones I have to read. 
  But there is no way I'm wading though the confirmed spammers.  In 
between reading spams, I have a life to lead.

Manual reporting is too cumbersome.  Really, I've come to the conclusion 
that this has reached a level of pain that I need to take more drastic 
action than just reporting 5 or 6 a day.
