I have no spam filtering here. I use the following good working trick: I
use "spamtrap@lucassen.org" as "from address". This address exists. I
discovered that such an address is filtered by harvesters because this
address can be found thousands of times on the net in newsgroups and so
on. Sometimes they only cut off the word "spam" as I can see that spam
is sent to "trap@lucassen.org", which does not exist. For replies I use
another address which is not (yet) harvested (too much work for
harvesters and thus not effective, I think)

IMHO a grep on /\ iftop\ / must be a good help for the moderator ;-)
