I believe with the change to PGLister that changed:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PGLister_Announce
"PGLister will use standard, industry-recognized headers to identify
mailing list messages. The non-standard header "X-Mailing-List" will no

non-standard header will need to adjust their filters. "
