I think that is what I did, isn't it? BTW, I'm running 5.3b.4, is the
include.send.header file from a later version?

The match...X-Spam-Flag rule is already in the include.send.header
file! And, yes, I want it applied to all my lists.

Yeah, the spam filter is fine, in fact for this particular list, I'm the
only one authorized to post messages. However, that doesn't stop
spambots from trying to post to the list. I'm not going to post any
spam to my own list. (And the situation is similar for most of the other
lists I hosts.)
