On a related note, it is extremely rare that I get spam that appears
to be sent via conventional mailing list software (MajorDomo,
ListServ, ListProc, Lyris, etc.).  Spammers certainly could make their
email look like mailing list distributions.  For now, they rarely do
this.  The only significant comparison that comes to mind is that some
list servers use multiple recipients...  Why all the fuss about
creating special privileges for mailing lists?  Doesn't seem like this
would lead to the prevention a lot of spam.
