Ok. As to whether others have problem - it really does depend on what there antispam/antivirus setup looks like.

A little googling tells me that the standard Amavis antivirus considers multiple reply-to: lines as a "bad header" signature, and the standard configuration quarantines messages with bad headers.

The work around, for me, is obviously to play with the antivirus configuration - but I think that Amavis only goes to the granularity of quarantining all or none of the various BAD HEADER checks it performs. Need to to a little research. I'm not sure I want to turn all of those off.

I need to do some more research as to what is the RFC-compliant handling of reply-to: headers by mail forwarders, if there is indeed any such spec. It's pretty obvious that most list handlers and other forwarders either delete them or rewrite them to things like original-reply-to: (the issues I found by googling were mostly about things that broke when a piece of software, e.g., a particular Drupal release, started sending messages with duplicate reply-to: headers).

Since this is a new behavior (unless I just wasn't noticing all that stuff going straight to trash), I wonder if apache.org has changed or updated its list or mail infrastructure. What does this list run on top of?

Thanks,

Miles Fidelman

So if there are any issues it's ok to just write it here and a moderator
will take care if needed. And yes infra is short for infrastructure.

Let's see if others do have the same issue with this list. If yes I will
take action :)

Well, I cc'd listmaster and postmaster - or are there other contacts to

  Hi,
I personally don't have this problem. But if others are faced with
this, I
will report it to INFRA .

   Recently, I've been finding a lot of coucdb related email traffic in
my

spam folder. I think it's just the dev list, but I'm not 100% sure of
this
(I seem to recall this for other traffic, but intermittently, and the
latest batch is fine).


    On examination, I find that our local antivirus/antispam setup is
reporting this:

X-Amavis-Alert:  BAD HEADER SECTION Duplicate header field: "Reply-To"

Is anybody else seeing this.  If yes, is perhaps the list software
misconfigured, perhaps following a patch to address DMARC breakage?
