We use scripts to generate several types of boilerplate messages which are
sent to individual listname-request addresses, and there have been numerous
occasions when we sent the same basic message to a large number of addresses
in a short period of time.

I suspect that our messages are not triggering the spam filter because the
script-generated boilerplate is customized for each list. At the very least,
the list name appears in both the subject line and body of the message. In
many cases, the message body also contains a link to the list management web
page.
