Hi,
I've seen this exact error before with various ISPs. I believe one of
them is Centurytel. I assume what's happened is that several ISPs use a
certain spam filtering service or app, and that filter is rejecting the
messages for some unknown reason. If that's the case, the particular ISP
in question probably won't have a clue what's going on. Hopefully
they'll care enough to consult with the third-party filtering service.

This was the actual bounce error from one of the offending messages:
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data:
554 5.7.1 [P4] Message blocked due to spam content in the message.
It’s being bounced by some spam rule on CGI.net; it’s a global one so it’s
something in their configuration, since none of the other providers are
bouncing it, it’s not really recognizable as spam.
(or one user reported it as spam and they took the lazy way out and blocked all
the emails from that list address…we have one user who routinely marks email
from one list on our domain as ’spam’…then complains that he’s not getting
emails from the list…sigh )

issue.
I don't understand. You say it's personal mail *from the city*, but
you're getting the bounce message? That should not happen; the bounce
message should go to the city.
I don't think the city would see a bounce because the list accepted their
message and a lot of subscribers would see it.. but it was rejected only by
one or two other subscriber email providers. That is my understanding
anyway, perhaps I'm wrong. I see the bounces as admin for the list. Isn't
this proper behavior of the mailman software? It seems that people would
complain (or ask about it) if they saw all the bounces caused by one of
their messages and they never have.
That's nothing. Don't hesitate. It's much more annoying to have to
go back and forth if you send incomplete headers.
Could it be that GCI needs to whitelist or something?
Not enough information. It sounds like either or both the city and
GCI have difficulty with email since it's that particular combination,
but which one is whack I can't tell without a look at the delivery
status notice (bounce message) for the mass bounces. This is often in
your mail server's log as well.
Steve, thanks very much for replying and looking at this. I realize now I
didn't provide sufficient info and will in the future amend my ways.
I'm going to contact GCI and see if I can get them to either whitelist or
clean up a possible mis-configure in their system. Another kind gentlemen
from this mailman list contacted me off-list with an offer to help - I sent
him the complete header and reject message.. and he felt that there was
nothing apparent to warrant an email provider to reject it.
thanks, Jim
