I'm subscribed to a private, moderated mail list so there is no chance of junk email. It's annoying when thunderbird thinks 1/4 of the messages might be scams. Is there a way to tell it that anything to the list address is okay?

I can't find a way of "white listing" senders like you can with junk mail, however you can just turn the scam scanning off ...
Go to menu: Edit > Preferences Choose Tab: Privacy > E-mail Uncheck option: "Tell me if ..."
Not the solution you want, but perhaps good enough. Hope it helps.

My experience with TB says that after unchecking the junk status, TB will learn that the mail ins't junk in time. The same goes for learning what is junk. Just use the tools provided.

I've noticed TB pick up "spam" when a person posts 3 or 4 times to the list in succession, it will learn eventually though, don't worry!
I'm pretty sure he's talking about Thunderbird's 'E-Mail Scam' detection, not junk mail detection. While TB's junk email detection offers a whitelist(just add to your address-book and enable), and fairly good bayesian learning, it appears scam detection does not. From what I've seen it goes on a few rules such as having IPs in the email, or misleading hyperlinks. It's also fairly overzealous at what it does. Like Langdon said, if it really annoys you, It's probably best just to disable it.

I don't know, I find that once I mark a message as not being scam I don't see it marked again. I am using TB 2.0 so it may be better.
