Hi, I'm using Mailman v. 2.1.9 on a Debian Linux platform. I'm running Exim4 as the MTA with spamassassin doing spam checking when messages are recived in Exim (Exiscan-acl).
I've set up spam filtering rules in Mailman that will throw away messages that match ^X-Spam: YES in the headers. This works fine with most of the spam but messages that are sent to the *-subscribe address are accepted and not rejected. This means that mailman sends out confirmation requests to the spammers mail address, which most often is not valid or goes to some bogus address. I'm also adding to the flow of unwanted mail messages on the net... Is this a bug or a feature or have I gotten the things backwards? Shouldn't postings to the subscribe address be checked in the spam filter?
