How about rejecting or discarding non-member posts instead of holding them. does that help? Note that there are problems with rejecting spam although Mailman has limits on the number of autoresponses per day to a given user to prevent joe-jobbing. There are also problems with discarding non-member posts if you ever expect to get legitimate messages from non-members, but these are options to consider (generic_nonmember_action = reject or discard). >I also don't want any member's mail that is not moderated to be marked spam >and held for moderation.

So you are basically saying that you don't trust any spam filter other than a human, so all this discussion is moot. >I do want the administriva filter on, but >that's already working okay. > >Here's what I want: > >Subscribers who are unmoderated to be whitelisted. >Non-subscribers who I have set to auto-accept to be whitelisted.

Mailman sends a summary every morning with the From: and Subject: of the held posts waiting moderator action. >So, yes, I do want the spam filter to run through Mailman.

Here you have a problem because detecting a flagged post based on header_filter_rules is not sensitive to whether or not the poster is "whitelisted" (you could make rules for this, but it would be too cumbersome; you'd basically need to list everyone's address in a rule). -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
