Also, not all messages from the list are treated as spam so it would
seem that no Mailman specific or list specific message characteristics
are the trigger either.

The first thing to investigate is what do the affected recipients have
in common?  Also, if one of user-a's posts is treated as spam by the
affected recipients, are all of user-a's so treated?

There's not really a whole lot you can find out from the large ISPs
about why they flag particular messages. They are understandably
reluctant to disclose what criteria they use.
