They have standardized header:

Don't blame the mailing list just because your mailer is not capable of

oh, but the kmail that shlomi's using is perfectly capable to process list 
headers... all you need is a filter to move mails from lists into separate 
folders, one per list, and then tell kmail that those folders contain mailing 
lists.

so it all comes back to PEBKAC.


RE: [Meta] Unsubscribe / help footer at the bottom of messages to this list.

2010-10-07 Thread Giampaolo Tomassoni
 Furthermore, I suggest having a footer with unsubscription / help
 information
 in addition to the header because the header may not be visible, not
 all E-
 mail clients may display it, and people may otherwise be unaware of it.
 I have
 often seen some unsubscribe messages sent to mailing lists and
 putting the
 ubsubscription information in the footer greatly reduces that.

I see what you mean, but, well, I personally would vote no to this.

I'm really tired of all that mailing lists which can't stay from attaching
their own banners and general hints at the message tail.

After all, the SA users list is not for the faint of heart and people (like
you do, in example) should at least know how to unsubscribe from an
ezmlm-managed list...

Giampaolo


 
  so it all comes back to PEBKAC.
 
 I know how to unsubscribe - that's not the problem.

- the unsubscribe instructions are in the subscription confirming e-mail
  (you must send subscription request and confirm it back to get that mail)

- I've seen unsubscribe requests even in lists that do have such footer

Not breaking DKIM signature? Yes, on both accounts:

- the users@spamassassin.apache.org mailing list does not break signatures
  (thankfully it does not modify Subject or add footers/signatures);

- DKIM signatures in messages passed through SpamAssassin are normally
  not invalidated, unless one configures SA to modify Subject or to add

How do I get delisted from SORBS? [OT]

2010-10-07 Thread Marc Perkel

 Got this listing on sorbs:

SORBS DNSBL http://www.de.sorbs.net/ 127.0.0.2 Aggregate zone 
See: http://www.sorbs.net/lookup.shtml?65.49.42.106;

Went to their web site and can't find a way to remove it. Their web site 
is barely responsive and there doesn't seem to be a removal tool. Anyone 
else having this problem or can give me some insight as to what is going

In particular, note the second comment, by Michelle.

 We have experienced a DDoS attack today which was 'smart' we have
  mitigated it so the site is now operational if a user waits about
  10-15 seconds for the response.

  We have had reports that we have a database corruption, there is no
  evidence of that but to be safe we have emptied the DNS zone files and
  the rsync files until we can check the database for any possible
  errors. We expect this to be complete within 24 hours.

I can't even remember the last time I've seen an unsub request straight
to this list. I do, however, frequently see them on some lists despite
adding such a footer.

It's not a matter of missing information forced onto each and any

the DOS attack happened to coincide with the problem but didn't cause

Well, this still would be an intrusive disclaimer. And *really* not
necessary with this list and its audience, as history shows.

With other lists populated by non tech-savvy folks, it won't work
either. You lost your audience by referring to a header. You would not
assume people unable to comprehend a verbose how to unsub disclaimer,
and still manage to send it straight to the list, to grok that, would
you?

Yes, I have seen helpful replies along the lines of the next paragraph
tells you how to unsub. The full sender's text. The next paragraph
would be the list-added disclaimer -- of course, also part of the OP's
unsub request in the first place.


But I believe we already crossed the line from meta to OT. ;)  This
braindead message munging won't happen on this list.
