Thanks Stephen. I was wrong - an attachment directory was indeed created for my second message as well. In looking at the creation dates for that list, they always seem to be created sometime the next day after 3:00 am. Since the only cron job I run at that time for Mailman is senddigests, I guess that is what creates it.
So I guess the difference between my message being scrubbed, and a message on another list not being scrubbed, is the MUA (as the content-filtering is the same on all of our lists (ie never touched from the original defaults)). And because filter_content is set to NO on all lists, I don't imagine we're doing any filtering anyway. As for the listname.mbox file, there isn't one. That directory has always been empty. The attachments dfirectory is very large though. - jim - On Wed, May 5, 2010 at 7:44 PM, Stephen J.
