Back in January I told our 500+ list admins that they could do this: http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/ibiblio-announce/2008-January/000210.html And as of yesterday (27 of March) fewer than 20 had done anything. Yesterday I ran a script that imposed that filtering on all lists because we have been blacklisted by spamcop yet again. The message we were blacklisted for had been tagged as spam by SA on the list server, but still got bounced out to an innocent 3rd party (who then reported us). Anything that makes spam filtering smarter and better-integrated in mailman is a Good Thing (tm). Providing the *option* to have good and sane filtering integration is definitely not enough. Even with hand-holding and encouragement, the vast majority of our list admins are not going to do nearly as good a job as mailman can do if it accepts this GSOC project. I'll be happy to provide whatever feedback or support I can in making that happen. For the curious, the script I ran was based closely on what's in the wiki for changing generic_nonmember_action: #!/bin/bash cd /usr/local/mailman/bin f=`mktemp` echo "header_filter_rules = [('^X-Spam-Status: Yes', 3, 0)]" > $f for list in `cat /root/no-filter-rules.txt` do ./config_list -i $f $list done rm $f where "/root/no-filter-rules.txt" is a list of lists that had not heeded my advice.
