Marked by what?

You could use the list's Privacy options... -> Spam filters ->
header_filter_rules to hold or discard such messages. It is not a good
idea to reject them as the sender is likely spoofed so the rejection
is just backscatter.

Then how did the post reach the list? What is the list's Privacy
options... -> Sender filters -> generic_nonmember_action setting?
