Hi Christian, There is one issue... and that is that what for you or me might seem like an unrelated subject for the author there clearly is a link between the subject and the body of the message. Though correcting the subject might not be a bad plan rejecting the message might frustrate some of the mailing list subscribers. I would suggest informing the author that the subject and the body seem unrelated and suggest a correction, rather then an outright reject.
Looking at the volume of the message on this list it cannot be a huge amount of work to filter out the messages that do not meet the criteria and to suggest a better subject. It would be a much friendlier way of dealing with the seemingly unrelated subject and body messages.
