^subject:.*Arlington Digest, Vol as that is the beginning of the subject line for the digest. the .* is to allow for the re: (or whatever) to be added. Catching the footer is harder, as mailman (as far as I know) only filters on the header to the list, not the body. My list is plain text only, so I set a size filter to catch messages which quote the whole digest. It also catches people who attach things anyway, post in html (sometimes) or don't trim excessive quotations (sometimes). I set the filters to 'Hold' to allow releasing false positives or to write a descriptive reject message. -- Richard Damon ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
