Hi Barry,
This currently is using a system that is not relying on the whitelist. It’s also working in concert with the other anit-spam measures you are already familiar with.
We are iterating on the spam filter product you see here in a way that will hopefully either intrinsically not catch your bot as spam, or not catch it because it is a whitelist.
You are not at a risk of being unwhitelisted if people report it (for better or worse 
)
