No it shouldn't... Look below for explanation... It is telling the

These two are due to a reference to the wiki. It starts with wiki
instead of www, and MailScanner has a .info tld.

This one is probably due to Gmail having very long Message-IDs.... but

You should follow Jules recommendation to whitelist the mailing list.
If not, you'll have one of these every time someone include a link to
the wiki (or the MAQ).
