Quoting "F. Even" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I'm having a situation where legitimate addresses are getting added to
the blacklist. The only reason I could think of that this may be happening is that it is an instance where I have released a message,
and the confirmation was never received. Should these addresses be
getting
...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.tmda] grep APPEND config
...
PENDING_DELETE_APPEND = os.path.expanduser("~/.tmda/lists/blacklist")
See http://www.tmda.net/config-vars.html#PENDING_DELETE_APPEND. Setting this variable means that whenever a message is deleted from the pending queue, the sender's address will be automatically added to the given list - your blacklist. This will happen (as you suggest) when no response is seen to a confirmation request within your defined time limit, and the pending queue is cleaned up automatically (see also http://www.tmda.net/config-vars.html#PENDING_CLEANUP_ODDS)
Actually...it appears I had most of the tmda executables in more place than one...and while I thought I was using 1.0, I'm actually using .87, so I'll fix that and see if this problem continues.
BUT, the problem is not happening with the messages sitting in the queue. When I release them, they are no longer sitting in the queue.
Thanks for the input.

OK....I've just had 3 addresses added to my blacklist from messages that I'm not sure were ever confirmed. I KNOW I've released them all manually, I don't know if the people ever sent their confirmation. If I release a message, why should it ever get added to the blacklist, even considering how I have my setup configured? This would seem to be a bug to me. I am using the latest version this time, that has been confirmed.
Thanks for any input, Frank _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
