I've been inspired by something I read somewhere else.

  I have long thought that mailing lists should be
  configured to reject messages with a Subject of
  "Re: [the subject format for the list's digest messages]".
  Maybe a scan of the message content for a copy
  of the digest prologue would be a good idea as well.

and now I want to implement something like this.


There is a custom handler at
<https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/MoreHolds.py> that holds messages for
various reasons including digest subjects and quoting digest boiler plate.


Do people feel there is a need for a new Sender filter option "Process
Digest Replies"
(Accept|Hold|Reject|Discard) ?

Definitely. I'd love to have that.

This could be good for Mailman 3. I'm reluctant to do this in 2.1
because it really should be 'end of life'.

I get that, but 2.1 is going to be around for at least several more years considering LTS distros, etc. Those distros will most certainly upgrade Mailman for fixes/improvements, whereas probably not to do a major switch to mm3 (plus supported dependencies, etc)

There is also the issue of listadmin, the script for command line processing of list moderation requests. I'm not sure this script is being updated currently, and so probably does not work with Mailman 3(?). If so that is a show stopper for me, I'd never update to a Mailman version that can't be run via the command line. I have a lot of smaller mailing lists, and running them via web interface would be so time consuming that it would in practise be undoable.
