that's just broken, you shouldn't be unsubscribed unless you reject messages *consistenly* for some time. ideally, the mailing list system should send a "is this address valid?" probe before unsubscribing. > Should I just drop spam from > maillinglists, or should I just accept it and keep it? I don't really see any ill effects of blackholing messages which contain the List-Id header. mailing lists will very seldom trigger checks at RCPT time, so I wouldn't bother to add special tests for *-owner or VERP to the RCPT ACL. note that individual Cc of list messages won't contain the List-Id header, so they will get properly rejected. -- Kjetil T. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
