I want to send a BIG thanks to David Gibbs on this one. This actually worked perfectly! The body of the FBL report shows just the basic To, From, Subject, Date/Time and Body, so I did not think adding a new header would do diddly-squat. I *wrongly* assumed that the FBL reports do not include any header information. David and I traded some direct emails on the topic and he finally convinced me to do a "View Original" or "View Source" (depending on your email client) on the FBL report from Comcast and low and behold... the full headers are exposed... not only from the FBL itself, but *also* from the original offending message that the ISP forwarded in the FBL. So, you have two sets of headers to scroll through... but, sure enough, my new header was there, exposing the culprit list subscriber that was flagging all emails as spam. Here's a step-by-step (not hard) to get this going: 1) At the server level, Personalization or VERP must be enabled. I chose Personalization since I already had it enabled. This is done by adding "OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = Yes" to mm_cfg.py 2) At the list level, Personalization needs to be set to Yes (Non-Digest options > Personalize) 3) At the server level, add " RCPT_BASE64_HEADER_NAME = 'X-Mailman-R-Data' " to mm_cfg.py This will add a new header to each email, like this: X-Mailman-R-Data: Ym9ndXNzcGFtcmVwb3J0ZXJAY29tY2FzdC5uZXQ= > My next goal is to try VERP, and see if I can use that to find the habitual "mark as spam" folks on some Digest emails. Personalization doesn't work for Digests, but maybe VERP will? Again, thanks David Gibbs for sticking with me on this!! - Scott ------------------------------------------------------ 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
