Sorry, can't help you in detail with that. You didn't say what mail
client you use. Based on your email headers, I assume it is "Microsoft
Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0)".
Most (if not all) mail clients have some kind of filtering built in.
Just use that to reject any mail not sent to your "approved" addresses,
and use spambayes to filter spam sent to your "valid" addresses.

That is the very nature of a mailing list: you *intentionally* signed up
for:
a) sending email to all 394 members of the spambayes mailing list
b) receiving email from all 394 members of the spambayes mailing list.

That's right, every time you send mail to spambayes at python.org, a copy
goes to 394 people. And every time one of those 394 people sends an
email to spambayes, a copy goes to everybody on the list, including you.

For more information about mailing lists in general, plese read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_mailing_list

Spambayes uses the mailman mailing list software. This software enbles
its users to choose a "digest" format, which means (maximum) 1 email per
day, which contains all emails sent that day. I hope this helps for you.
