Are the mail headers for this list in flux?
For a long time, I've been using procmail to filter on
"Resent-From: debian-user". In the last day or so some
messages are missing that header. So I shifted to
filtering on "* TO: debian-user". Problem is, some of
the messages are being sent to debia

Field X-Loop is no longer available for a lot of mails sent by, at least,
debian-user and debian-devel mailing-lists.
It's very annoying to me since I filter my mailbox against this field using
procmail.
Which other field could I use by now ?
Thanks in advance.

You asked:

The test program is fsck. Every time you boot, fsck is run if there's
a problem with the file system. So this may be some help, but not
consolation.
