If the mails are being scored (which was mentioned), then I would be inclined to deal with those before they're accepted -- let alone before they get to Exim's handling (routing) for Mailman. > I poked around the MM config for the chic...@python.org mailing list, > but for the life of me couldn't find the setting where it holds > messages with X-Spam-Score with spam or unsure values.

I have a couple of ACLS (for check_message): the 'magic' I use is condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{60}{1}{0}} (A SpamAssassin score >6) For drop/discard/reject, maybe see https://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20090116.101052.18c04deb.en.html In my view (but "your mailsystem, your rules"), "high" scored Spam shouldn't be accepted; so score it, and deal with it at SMTP time; deal with the others once accepted. -- War is Peace Freedom is Slavery Ignorance is Strength 1984 ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
