This is already the case for this list (and all Educause lists, I think).

Given that this is a single spammish message in this midsts of hundreds or
thousands of good messages, I think the current config is excellent.

Better still, make it a list where non-members can't post (I don't know
if the OP was a member or not; do we have a list owner who can
comment?), or a moderated list.  The Mailman software can do both; I
would think something as established as listserv could do so also.

Another trick would be to pass all list mail through SpamAssassin, and
stop anything with a high-ish spam score from getting to the list (or at
least divert them for owner/moderator approval).  I've done that to
several lists I manage.
