Why? Is this a defining characteristic of spam? Are you also going to
ask the rest of the Internet not to use ellipses in Subject lines?

Believe it or not.... it is

no it is not and it can not be at all

no single word or char is a characteristic of spam alone and any sane spamfilter makes use of scoring and combining DNSBL, DNSWL, SA-Rules and last but not least bayes-training

so if your spamfilter rejects a message from a list you subscribed, especially if that list server provides SPF and so can make use of whitelist_auth it is broken by design

that said from a sysadmin responsible for mailservers with some hundret domains and thousands of mail-accounts with a zero-fp policy while 99% of all spam get caught correctly
