Is it a HOLD message? If so then on the Sender Filter page you want to make the non-member action be discard. If you make it Reject, then you will see a bounce message if the spam message and a bad from address (which it normally will have), also if you use reject then if the message has a faked from address that is actually valid, you are committing back-scatter and might get your list black-listed. It would be nice if Mailman could tell the MTA as it was receiving the message that it wasn't acceptable so it could be rejected then, but since it generally can't, you need to discard spam, not reject it. -- Richard Damon ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] 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
