Can't remember exactly what filters you were looking for, but some are best
left alone- they end up either not being used by senders, or take too much time
to administer. There are possibilities- one of the more effective is the
existance of seperate lists when needed- this list is pretty reasonable at the
current traffic level.
There are however, some filters on team-dot-net lists. Any messages greater
than 10K characters, graphics attachments, or copies of the digest (for
digested lists) are filtered out, as are some spam specific addresses.
(Don't ask me for more details- I run the webs, not the lists.
