No. For a list of possible sources of the discard, see <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2006-February/049331.html> >Looking in the code, the discard error appears to get logged here: > >Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py (line 163) > >except Errors.DiscardMessage: > # Throw the message away; we need do nothing else with it. > syslog('vette', 'Message discarded, msgid: %s', > msg.get('message-id', 'n/a')) > return 0 > >Is there any attribute that I can use with the msg.get method (or any other >method for that matter) to add in a note as to why the message was actually >discarded? The Handlers that raise DiscardMessage don't provide a reason, and there's not much help in the message or metadata. The easiest thing for you to do would be to add the Handler to the message. Then, it would be fairly simple to narrow things down although it still isn't definitive as both header_filter_rules and mm_cfg.KNOWN_SPAMMERS are processed by SpamDetect and Moderate can discard a message from a moderated member with member_moderation_action of discard, or a non-member in discard_these_nonmembers or a non-member with generic_nonmember_action of discard, but at least this will narrow it down. In the above code in IncommingRunner, change syslog('vette', 'Message discarded, msgid: %s', msg.get('message-id', 'n/a')) to syslog('vette', 'Message discarded by %s, msgid: %s', handler, msg.get('message-id', 'n/a')) -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
