1) I replied privately to reduce the list load since it was a TB config 
issue that I was addressing and not particularly the topic being 
discussed, where you and I are doing something similar and I was 
interested to know why my solution works and yours doesn't. But oh well :)

2) The pertinent part of the TB filter was the "set junk to not-junk", 
but that will only work if the filtering is applied before TB junking 
occurs, which is why I mentioned it to confirm your settings.

3) I do not have any mailing list messages deposited in my spam boxes 
and do not have any "/dev/null" redirects either in gmail or in TB (and 
never will. I'm a sysad, therefore the word paranoid cannot be applied 
 >:D). I can say with certainty that none of my mailing list emails have 
wound up in any of the 3 spam boxes that they could land in. I have 
checked them all. As I was mentioning, I have filters set up on all the 
mailing lists that I care about to not spam/junk any messages on those 
lists. And those filters have been working reliably for some time now. 
Which is why I am curious to know what is different between your 
filtering and mine.

Thanks!
Miranda
