This is not a SpamAssassin list. If you are asking about doing this in
Mailman, you could see Privacy options... -> Spam filters ->
header_filter_rules. You could try a rule with a regexp like

^Content-Type:.*charset=(koi8-r|iso-8859-9|windows-1254|big5|gb2312)

plus maybe others, but since much mail is utf-8, this probably wouldn't
be very effective.

Again, this is not a SpamAssassin list.

In Mailman a header_filter_rules regexp like

^From:.*@[-a-z0-9.]*?\.br( |>|$)
