[Mailman-Users] Hold message on implicit destination - except from list members
Mailman-Users, The feature to hold messages with implicit destination helps us a lot because a good percentage of spam does not list the list in the headers. However occasionally list members like to send messages to the list without the list as a recipient (for various mostly valid reasons) and it would be good to be able to handle this case. Is it possible that we always allow list members through and only hold non-list members? If possible I would like to avoid doing this with regex.

I'll do some research if I get time today but I'm fairly sure something
is borked with this spam filtering. Looking through the code I can see
that if a header is not found its not supposed to return a spam match.
The other thing I've noticed is that owner's don't seem to get spam
scanned. Still, our behaviour was that
KNOWN_SPAMMERS = [('X-Spam-Status','Yes')]
caused all emails from non-owners to be silently discarded.
At this stage I'm following the advice by not using KNOWN_SPAMMERS and
concentrating on per list measures. Thanks for your help.

[Mailman-Users] KNOWN_USERS + SpamAssassin discarding lots of mail
I have in my mm_cfg.py :
KNOWN_SPAMMERS = [('X-Spam-Status', 'Yes')]
But for some reason this is discarding lots of mail. Is there some way I
can turn up the debugging so I can see why these messages are being
discarded? Where do these discarded messages go?
Thanks
