Hello Garith,

I ended up creating a new send scenario file called send.public_nospam,
that contains:

title.gettext public list - no spam

match([header->X-Spam-Status],/Yes/) smtp -> reject,quiet
true() smtp,dkim,md5,smime -> do_it

Originally I had the action set to editorkey,quiet so I could moderate
the spam and allow good ones through, but after months of no good
messages, I changed it to reject,quiet.

Cheers, John Roberts
