I did try subject:\n But that traps a bunch of mangled subject lines where the user's MUA has munged the original to add spaces. The original regexp in header_filter_rules should catch any subject header consisting only of white space and zero or one occurrences of '(no subject)'. I think the issue may be that the incoming post has no Subject: header at all rather than an empty one. In this event, if there is a subject_prefix, Mailman will add a Subject: header with the list prefix and '(no subject)'. If there is no subject_prefix, the message will be sent from Mailman with no Subject: header. If that is the issue, you need 3 header_filter_rules. The first is as above to catch the empty or (no subject). The second is with a regexp of ^subject: and an action of accept to accept the remaining messages with Subject: headers, and the third has a regexp ^. and an action of hold to hold all messages that fall through the second. If you have other header_filter_rules, they should come before the accept rule (#2) or they won't be reached. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Trapping messages with null subjects sent to list
Is there a recipe to put in the spam filters that will trap a totally empty subject line in a message? This get posted to a list with (no subject) in the subject line, but this is evidently added after the spam filter check. I've tried \n, which catches these, but it also catches too many responses where the responder has changed the original subject as well. Virtually all of these null-subject posts we get are demands to unsubscribe the poster. On our lists, we'd settle for catching them as administrative requests.
