Yes, as I wrote in a previous message, I've reported all of these to
mailchimp. Nonetheless, it's not good enough. These are separate users
involved. My users (admins, support people) only see it as receiving
multiple similar spams over three days and wonder why we're unable to
stop them. Whitelisting mailchimp is a bad idea.

And none of this helps to stop these messages that still aren't
currently being blocked by spamassassin proper.
