John,

The germane (no pun intended) element is not the Gmane spam tag, 
but the source of the email bouncing that got it to Gmane. It came from 
the uncaught bounce notification feature of the list (I get about 20 of these 
a day, as the bounce address itself is regularly spammed). Somehow it 
was directed to Gmane this time.

I simply cannot follow the headers, but it's in this loop that contains a 
combination of the bounce processor (at the server, which is qs281, 
at line 15-16 and 39-40) and my forged email address (at line 24) that 
passes it onward under certain conditions. It never made it to me or to 
the list, unless my own spam filter caught it first (which is also on qs281).

Headers below, with irrelevant lines removed.

In any case, this is off topic. The discussion itself was a source of 
complaints last time.

Thanks,
Dennis
