Great, thank you for the explanation, and for making sure the list is
set up with listhelper despamming.

I want to update the FSF's internal documentation about this, so two
questions for you:

When you refer to listhelper, are you talking about a program or a
combination of a program and volunteers despamming? Is there any other
despamming method that we should be choosing to use or not, other than
listhelper?

Just to clarify, if the sysadmins use ~list/mycreate_list.pl, it will
have listhelper set up to do despamming?
