Mailman filtering all mails Message header
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Almost all mails to "Wikimediaindia-l" mailing list are being filtered under head "Message has a suspicious header" from yesterday. Was there any mailman config changes offlate or something else thats causing this? Please fix it, since it gives the list owners more work. I am not sure if this is happening across lists.

Mailing list is completely moderated and delivery is very dependent on moderators availability. Can this be looked into?

Is there any available update on this? Offlate few admins get out on vacation and list is stalled. Would appreciate some help. Adding more mods / admins to do janitor job is not exactly a solution, esp for a high volume list like India list.

It is becoming increasing taxing for all of us and a lot of mails get irrelevant due to delay in moderators checking out. Can this be looked into with highest priority?

Updated http://rt.wikimedia.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=1176 so when Ops looks
at mailman (soon?) they'll see this.

Upgrading mailman (RT-1176) is completely unrelated to the configuration of a specific list. Any mailman administrator or an administrator for the India list specifically can fix this problem.

As described here: http://www.washington.edu/itconnect/email/mailman/faqs.html, the setting is under Privacy -> Spam in the mailman administrative view. Looking at the bounce_matching_headers list, I see "subject: [sbicitizen]" in the list. I think the bounce_matching_headers list is parsed as a regular expression, which would mean that [sbicitizen] is interpreted as a character class. This rule should bounce any post that has one of the letters 'bceinstz' in the Subject line (which is nearly all).

I've changed the rule to "Subject: .sbicitizen." and closing this ticket (it should work). Please reopen the ticket if messages are still bouncing.
