Doesn't really matter. If you use mainly whitelists and all the mailing
lists tend to have a subject line with a particular marker (like
[antispam-f] in this case) so doing an accept on that normally works.

All other traffic set to DEFER and use the marking facility - not had
*anything* get past that in I don't know how long.

The box that isn't filtered like that (spampling@) gets some spam but it
isn't widely used so the spam is minimal.
