I had thought of that, but decided it made it too easy to bypass the spam
completely. Bear in mind that there are now books telling you how to MAKE
MONEY FAST ON THE INTERNET SUPERHIGHWAY. If all it takes to bypass the
detector is "Sender: [log in to unmask]", it will be in the next edition of
the book and we'll be back to square one. The best I could do would be to
ignore messages that come from another list at the same host. If you have
sublists organized as a tree, you don't really need spam detection for
the sublists because the master list will protect you, so I don't see any
harmful effect to disabling the spam detector for these lists (other than
the inconvenience of having to edit many lists, of course).
