No, that's not the problem. Any other mailman list I have signed up for
hasn't been marked as spam just yours. So why would I tweak it for one
mailing list authentication email if I am already signed up on the list? I
mentioned this for your benefit not mine. If you don't want to make any
changes, it will be your loss.
