Many people have commented on the fact that the CF-Talk list has been gathering multiple copies of posts. The reason for this is that a list member who's domain is associated with pair.com has been bouncing the messages back to the list. This is in full violation of all RFC specs for dealing with bounced or rejected email. Normally, the list will check to make sure that 2 messages with the same message-id do not exist. In this case, the bounced message has the original message-id removed making the job harder. The Message-ID is not required by the RFC so this is not a reason to block the email. On the other hand, the bounced message is missing a date header. As the date IS required by the RFC, I've added in a small piece of code to block all messages that are posted without a date field. This should deal with our duplication problem. For those who are wondering what is required, here is a list: To - Must be a valid list address and have a valid format >From - must contain a valid list members email address and must be a valid format Subject - may not be blank, may be blocked based on certain combinations of spam word subjects Date - must be a valid date Message-ID - does not have to exist but if it does then it has to have a valid format Body - must contain text, html only messages will be rejected, attachments will be stripped
