I cant send introductions to myself in every mail. If you believe I am 
spamming, I cant really claim that I dont on my own since its a question 
of trust at that point. If you havent been associated with the group, do 
get familiar with those already involved. I cant see any reason to 
suspect my mail as spam.

It doesnt make any difference really since the spam mails can easily 
have a similar subject field. The subject header is already there. You 
just have to filter your mails from the mailing list based on the To/CC 
list. Very few mailing lists in Fedora alter the subject field. In 
general, we avoid doing that.
