How many of these posts are irrelevant spam that doesn't even mention the list address in the "To:" or "Cc:" fields? An effective way to summarily dispose of this refuse is a procmail front-end that simply files anything that doesn't mention the list posting address in its explicit destinations. This effectively disposes at least of spam sent via third-party bulk relay. By its nature, this stuff can't contain customized per-destination headers. Unfortunately it also disposes of "Bcc:" to the list, but I guess I don't lose too much sleep over this. > I'd like to somehow preserve messages sent by normal subscribers that are > simply sending same from email addresses other than what is represented in > their subscription whle simply deleting all the rest before they become > admin message issues. > > Thanks > > PJC > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------ > Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users > -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Wilder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Technical Manager & Editor SSC, Inc.
