Hi Mark The problem is that the private network is made up of 50+ large organisations and the policy is that all emails between these organisations are routed securely over the private network therefore no whitelisting is allowed and indeed even if it was it would be very difficult to get 50 large organisations to agree a change of anti-spam rules.
I really appreciate all your help but I guess it should be a new feature put on the wish list for the next version of mailman. I understand other mailman type products offer this functionality for the very reason that I have outlined.

OK. I understand the problem now. When you say "it is not possible to whitelist the mailman server", do you mean not technically possible or not possible because actual spam is also relayed via this server (maybe it's also the gateway to the internet). Assuming you mean the latter, perhaps it would be possible to whitelist the LISTNAME-bounces@mailman_domain envelope sender. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
