It might be the case that the new mailer whitelists stuff coming from the
old mailer, and the old mailer doesn't have the bar set very high...

In which case, turning off the old mailer might be sufficient...

But probably not.

In any case, I've opened a case with the SF folks, and offered to help them
fine tune SA to filter better.

For instance, adding SA 3 points to "open" mailing lists to raise the criteria
of what passes and what doesn't would already go a long way...
