If you mean you can't find where header_filter_rules is, it's under Privacy options->Spam filters. If you mean there aren't any rules specified, then that's not part of the problem. >Anyway: i just got an email from one of my friend and he said the only >way to stop this is to stop mailman and after that delete the specified >messages from the qfiles directory. Could this be a bug? Maybe. I can't say what the problem is without knowing more about the incoming messages. I suggest 'bin/mailmanctl stop', then 'ls -lR qfiles/' to see what is in what queues. Normally, I would suggest bin/show_qfiles to look at the individual files, but pre-2.1.8a1 show_qfiles has a bug. There is a patch at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1444447&group_id=103&atid=100103>, or you can use bin/dumpdb. If you find unwanted messages in qfiles/in, qfiles/out, qfiles/command and/or qfiles/virgin (I think those are the only places they would be), move the .pck files out of those directories, but save them for analysis. We would want to see what the various messages look like. Then do 'bin/mailmanctl start' to start Mailman. Note that even when Mailman is stopped, new posts and requests will be added to the in/ and command/ queues as messages arrive, so you can't just blindly empty the queues as some of the entries will be wanted. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
