I have seen on some mailman lists where messages sent to a list when received by others have the word spam in the subject. Is this a mailman setting that can be changed or is it a setting either with the mailman hosting provider?


Both Steve and Robert have given relevant replies, but to summarize:

It's not Mailman.

The two possibilities that come to mind are:

- The incoming MTA on the Mailman host has tagged the message as spam but delivered it to Mailman anyway.

- A user is replying to a message that her MTA tagged as spam without removing the spam tag from the subject.

For the second case, I'm sometimes guilty of this myself. My MTA (via MailScanner) tags subjects with {spam} or {disarmed} and I sometimes reply to such messages without removing the tag.
