Basic spam filtering with SpamAssassin is now running on the Mailman server. As a result, we recommend that mail-list owners (moderators) reinstate friendly handling of non-subscriber posts, as follows: Uhm, that is not going too well: This is the mail system at host mail.opensolaris.org. I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below. For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the attached returned message.

Thanks for reporting these. We're going to back out the enabling of header_checks described here: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/website-discuss/2007-October/004036.html The appearance of the empty messages seems to coincide with this change.

Basic spam filtering with SpamAssassin is now running on the Mailman server. As a result, we recommend that mail-list owners (moderators) reinstate friendly handling of non-subscriber posts, as follows: - Go to the Privacy - Sender Filters screen and change the generic_nonmember_action option from reject or discard to hold. (In my experience, this is generally the preferred way for mailing lists to handle posts by non-subscribers.) Of course some spam will still get through (to the moderation queue) that you'll have to inspect and discard by hand, it should now be very manageable. Plus: - With the recent upgrade of Mailman to version 2.19 came another key improvement in spam handling: The moderation (held messages) screen now has a option called Discard all messages marked Defer. Use this when all the remaining messages in the moderation queue are spam. It'll discard them all at once. - We plan to further fine-tune SpamAssassin in the coming weeks/months, reducing the amount of spam that gets through even more.
