To my best knowledge, "X-Spam-Status: ... tests=...,LDOSUBSCRIBER,..." says that the "From:" address of the mail is subscribed. If this sign is missing, the person-like entity which wrote the mail could still be subscribed by another address or other means. Nevertheless, if i have no other indication then i normally add a "Cc:" to the thread starter if i do not see LDOSUBSCRIBER among the spam tests. > > Unless, of course, you intention is *not* to reply to OP but > > have your reply visible to the list. ... which in this case is indeed my intention because i have nothing useful to say about the OP's original problem.
