Yes, I did RTFM.  However, that's a site-wide configuration.  I'm only 
trying to eliminate it on these emails that I'm piping through spam* to feed 
to Mailman.

I might just go with it anyway and ignore this problem.  False positives 
should be kinda rare.

Oooh. if I use spamassassin instead of spamc, I can specify an alternate 
config file!  OK, I'll play with that.  Thanks.
