As far as I am aware, they do run SpamAssassin on the listserv box.
And also as far as I'm aware, if they were NOT running SA, you'd
likely see upwards of a hundred spam messages a day getting through.

Note that no A/S technology has a 100% catch rate, and as the volume
of spam goes up, the volume of false negatives must also go up
and hence you're seeing more spam.  Its just the current round in
the never-ending war against spam.
