I can't help finetune or 'subfilter' something I can't see.  But I know
that on all of my mail systems ie my provider EL and my gmail account
and my SpamPal proxy filter and my primitive mailuseragent OE, that I
could segregate a specific item such as TeamAaronShara and handle it
differently by putting it into its own folder or deleting it
automatically.

I could have it in a gmail folder or trashed.  My EL could keep it out
of my other unknown nonwhitelisteds by blacklisting it on a high
spamblocker setting.  My OE could autodelete it or put it in its own
folder.
