Yeah, this is the "suspicious headers" error, right? IMO, it's a broken setup on the server. spam-assassin is configured to allow HTML mail through, but then mailman looks in the headers for for spam-assassin's HTML markers and blocks the mail. Since mailman doesn't know how to interpret something that's configured as a bad header, it sends back a pretty useless error message. I think it would be better to just have spam-assassin flag HTML mail as spam since this will at least bounce back to the user with a useful message. The reason HTML mail is blocked is because a lot of spam comes in HTML format. The moderators do try to go through the list queues periodically to see if there's anything that should be let through, but it's a tedious job that doesn't happen as often as it should. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
