Interesting theory.  In practice, I've seen very few spams that
appeared to be sent via conventional mailing list software.
You're probably right that if all email sent by say Majordomo was
allowed pass all filters unmolested, the spammers would soon
switch MD like headers.  As of yet, they don't even try.  Most
spam looks like individual emails.  The only typical (not
universal) distinction in the headers is the funky US to 3rd
world and back to US routing.
