Miles,

RFCs are these:

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc6532.html
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc5322.html

close, but more like rfc5321 - the discussion on trace fields and implementation issues seems to be silent on whether duplicate reply-to fields are to be deleted, but I need to re-read in depth

But I'd like you to know that I am not seeing any duplicated field
*reply-to* in message header I received.

interesting - and I note that your message came through with only 1 reply-to

I'm seeing duplicate reply-to: in some messages, not others - and in particular I'm seeing them in all the gitub messages that are gatewayed to the list.

And... I just looked in the archive, at, for example, http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-dev/201411.mbox/browser there are definitely two reply-to headers in there (I marked the lines with *****()

    haha :) I know what to do for your birthday: write more tests!

------------------

Looks like the list handler is not removing reply-to headers that might have been inserted by the original sender.

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

I am a moderator of this list and I am not aware that listmaster is known.
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?
