I have absolutely no idea why this might be. Just out of curiousity, if you change your .qmail file to the following, does it continue to work? |preline /usr/home/USER/tmda-0.68/bin/tmda-filter 2>&1 > /usr/home/USER/mail/tmdalog > I now have it set up watching for key words and several lists of > from: and to: addresses.

My incoming filter only has "ok" rules. TMDA never looks at the To field. It only looks at the envelope recipient, which is you, not the list. The mail was originally sent to the list, but copies were resent to each list member. So the envelope recipient for this particular copy is [EMAIL PROTECTED] or whatever address you used to subscribe. Adding your main address to your acceptto list is just going to open you up to spam, so the recommended way to handle lists is either to subscribe with a [EMAIL PROTECTED] sort of address and create a .qmail-listname file to deposit the mail where you want *without* using TMDA or add a from rule to match the list's envelope sender: from [EMAIL PROTECTED] ok No matter how you do it, you can't filter out spam from a mailing list with TMDA, since the header looks the same for both good and bad mail. Many of us simply go the first route (using .qmail extension files or procmail recipes) and skip TMDA when it comes to lists. > >TMDA, on the other hand, sends using SMTP. It may be blocked.
