it's a mailman thing.  I suspect that they run things through spambayes,
and use mailman filters to look for "UNSURE" in the "X-Spam-Status"
header added by spambayes.  see e.g.

    http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.059.htp

I'm pretty sure the python.org administrators have the mailman source
code, so it shouldn't be that hard to fix the message...
