I would say one has their spamfilter configured incorrectly if such
emails would be rejected and it should prompt an immediate fix.
The mailinglist should ideally be whitelisted. In addition if you use
content scanning (in almost all cases a bad idea, see:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8528672.stm ) your scanners ought
to be trained well enough to figure out the email is not spam.
