I should have explained that the situation that I'm talking about is not for my personal email but for SA used site-wide and therefore doesn't have per-user settings. If it was just my own then what you are describing would work just fine and I have actually done this for myself. My original questions were directed towards any custom rules that I could add to reduce the false negatives on list emails so that on a site-wide basis SA would be less likely to tag legit list emails. I have too many customers to provide individual settings for so I'm looking for more general rules. Like: giving a -ve score on any message that contains a header like "List-Unsubscribe:" for example.
