See
     http://www.sourceware.org/lists.html#rbl-sucks
which has a discussion of how the spam filters work, and how to get 
around them.

Possible reasons
1) The address you posted from is subscribed to one mailing list but not 
the other (perhaps an alternate address is subscribed on the other list).
2) The address you posted from is on the allow list for one mailing list 
but not allow list of the other.

By the way, I think it is a word of all caps in the subject line which 
triggers the spam filter, and "PR" is such a word, which is unfortunate. 
  This is just a guess though.
