Nope. The tool is invoked by procmail so it responds just as soon as an item is placed in the queue. It appears that the items aren't even getting in the queue. Just tested this premise, it is correct. Same content email in from a gmail account (non-member) did get into the queue. I also redirected the tool used to generate the test emails to another address and it's working correctly as well. Conclusion is that something up at gnhlug-org is trapping/dropping all email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] or that somehow that email is not getting delivered to gnhlug-org. > I know some(one|thing) > else has also been doing that, since the queues are sometimes empty > when I get around to reading the admin "attention" messages. Yup, that would be my tool. Its a script started by procmail that uses curl to get pending requests, passes them thru a spam filter and automatically discards any requests which score at 40 percent higher than the boundary score for spam. I wanted to go 40% higher than a normal spam score to make sure that no non-spam would get discarded inadvertently. That still leaves a lot of spam to process by hand but does cut down the load a lot. I'm starting to collect stats about which requests are discarded manually and which are discarded by score only. Used manually it lets you peruse the requests locally and discard them or whatever with a single keypress. -- Jeff Kinz, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA. speech recognition software may have been used to create this e-mail _______________________________________________ gnhlug-org mailing list gnhlug-org@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org
