I know that.  My filter doesn't catch them.

As you can see, to be caught in the filter you need to have a gmail
address and be sending through the news gateway.  People sending from
gmail.com directly to the mailing list don't get picked up.  I'm pretty
sure that that defines everyone using Google Groups only.  I am
definitely open to correction though.
