Posted a followup in "List moderators" thread, but figure that this deserves it's own subject/thread as the findings will affect list users that use nntp servers to read/respond to the list (gmane.org, nabble, etc) and attempt to filter unsubscribed users via the 'Delivered-To' headers - particularly those that will be using mozilla (haven't tested on others) nntp Thunderbird 3.0 and SeaMonkey 2.0 clients.
(Paul & hope that you and other moderators can carry this msg to the Collabnet folks). As I understand the situation: 1. Currently when an unsubscribed user posts to the list a duplicate 'Delivered-To' header is created containing: Delivered-To: moderator for [email protected] So the msg contains two headers: Delivered-To: mailing list [email protected] Delivered-To: moderator for [email protected] Filtering on these duplicates may work in an email client, but when filtering on nntp, the client only filters on what is returned from the nntp server. Mozilla get the following from the nntp gmane.org server on a 'moderator' msg: > This is what the news server tells us: > XHDR Delivered-To 201827 > 221 Delivered-To matches follow (art) > 201827 mailing list [email protected] > . > > We only see that one, sole, single header. Indeed, the spec requires the news > server to only show us that one header. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16913#c101 [ Filter news based on any headers ] for details. 2. Perhaps if openoffice.org/collabnet didn't use a duplicate 'Delivered-To' header, and instead changed the second header to 'Delivered-To-Moderator' the issue might be resolved. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
