I never see anything related to these in the mailman logs.
There is a separate pipeline for messages to the owner, so if you want to filter these, you need to add OWNER_PIPELINE.insert(1, 'SpamAssassin') in mm_cfg.py. Also note that this and the GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(1, 'SpamAssassin') insert SpamAssassin after Mailman's own SpamDetect module. It doesn't really matter, but if you want to put it first, use xxx_PIPELINE.insert(0, 'SpamAssassin'). OWNER_PIPELINE will directly take care of messages to -owner addresses. Messages to the -admin and -bounces (admin is a synonym for bounces) address will not be filtered, but if they are unrecognized and forwarded to the owner, they will be processed through the OWNER_PIPELINE at that point. Messages to the -request address will not be filtered, but spam to this address is normally just returned to the sender with an error message, not forwarded to an owner/moderator. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
