Reports of mail sent through freebsd lists are completely useless, since there's nothing I can do with them. Reports of mail that haven't passed through other people's list managers are fine, and my scripts deal with them just dandy. >> The list should certainly sign, but the old signature has to go, since the >> reputation of a list's mail belongs to the list, not the contributors. > > I disagree. I say the reputation is partly the contributor's, partly the > list's. Could you produce an actual (as opposed to hypothetical) example of a situation where it is useful to filter list mail based on contributor signatures that may or may not be present? I know that every filtering rule I've ever made for list mail looked for characteristics of the list. I do the occasional bozofilter but they look at the From: line. For reasons that should be obvious, once you know the mail is from the list, it's be much more reliable to do the bozo filtering on From: rather than looking for a second signature.
