Description Srikanth Logic 2011-10-18 09:49:28 UTC
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?
Comment 2 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-10-25 23:03:54 UTC
Updated http://rt.wikimedia.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=1176 so when Ops looks at mailman (soon?) they'll see this.
Comment 3 Srikanth Logic 2011-11-06 14:16:46 UTC
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.
Comment 4 Srikanth Logic 2011-11-11 07:31:36 UTC
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?

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.

-ops per comment 5.
Comment 7 Ben Hartshorne 2011-11-14 21:53:55 UTC
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.
