Nuno> Hi, SPAM email where the from address appears as the list Nuno> itself is bypassing the list rules for posting and is Nuno> automatically accepted. Hmm.... That makes for IMHO an interesting question. Since many, if not most MTAs can be configured to reject mail from specific envelope senders, usually specified as regular expressions, the question is what if any envelope senders related to mailman lists (and not from our local {host,net}) can be rejected by an MTA that is dedicated to handling incoming mail for only the lists. It is advantageous to reject unwanted mail during the SMTP conversation rather than later. It should be pretty easy to cause a MTA reject all incoming mail from non-local relays with any envelope sender address appearing among the Mailman aliases. Will this do no harm?

If the list shows up as a header sender, have you looked at "Hold posts with header value matching a specified regexp" among the Privacy Options? jam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQE/O5THUEvv1b/iXy8RAovtAJsE5lIDD2JUzv0B74+wcIHB+ycvzgCfSFGQ NyUrZBRPx9VaBvKBHK2o3gg= =QSMB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
