Believe it or not.... it is
no it is not and it can not be at all
no single word or char is a characteristic of spam alone and any sane
spamfilter makes use of scoring and combining DNSBL, DNSWL, SA-Rules and
last but not least bayes-training
so if your spamfilter rejects a message from a list you subscribed,
especially if that list server provides SPF and so can make use of
whitelist_auth it is broken by design
that said from a sysadmin responsible for mailservers with some hundret
domains and thousands of mail-accounts with a zero-fp policy while 99%
of all spam get caught correctly
