What I mean is that every list message has headers like this:

X-Spam-Score: 0.0 (/)
X-Spam-Report: Spam Filtering performed by sourceforge.net. See
http://spamassassin.org/tag/ for more details. Report problems to
http://sf.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=1&atid=200001

The basic issue is that alsa-devel is required to be an open list as
it's listed in the kernel MAINTAINERS file.  But sourceforge does not
have nearly as good spam filtering as vger.kernel.org.
