[brlug-general] the short answer.

With a normal email client, you make a whitelist filter that you apply before 
the spam filter.  When I get a message from my mom, it goes to my mom's 
subfolder.  The same thing happens for list mail and other regular 
correspondence.  A helpful side effect of this is that I don't have to waste 
resources doing spam checks on a large portion of my mail.  I also don't have 
to worry about a false positives.

Yahoo has a button to "unspam" things.  I don't know how Yahoo would make that 
button work, but it should not be harder than it is for me at home.  They 
would also get the same reduction in processing and false positives.  The 
problem is that the Yahoo unspam button does not work for TruthOut and Yahoo 
has not been talking.  That, and your ISP won't let you run your own mail 
server.
