You can't currently turn off spam-checking per-user.

Are you sure the envelope doesn't actually say returns.yahoogroups.com?
Check your incoming mail logs for details of what the envelope sender
*actually* was. Copying stuff out of the message is a very unreliable way
of finding the sender, all that information can be different from what
actually appears in the envelope.

See above.

I've increased the SA required_hits to a point where virtually no false
positives happen, and I give short shrift to people who complain a lot :-)
