Thanks for running those tests Nick. I do keep an eye on my tmda logs. Here is a recent excerpt from my tmda incoming log:

Date: Wed Nov 12 11:00:16 GMT 2008
Sndr: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From: Nick Bell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Subj: Re: SPAM Blocking: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Actn: OK (from-file ~/.tmda/filters/accepted_mail ok)                   (3099)

My TMDA accepted_mail filter is setup to accept any email sent from the following domain:

lists.lyx.org

so that is what it appears to have matched against in the Sndr:
header for the above email. This will obviously accept mail from the user's or developer's list.

Actn: OK (headers-file /home/keith/.tmda/filters/headers_accept ok)     (2899)

My headers_accept file is setup to do a regex match for the following in the header's of emails received:

# accept all mail from lyx lists
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
"lists\.lyx\.org"
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

All I can see that this may have matched with is the CC field from your email:

Here is part of the full headers from your test email:

So it seems that any mail from the lyx lists with the sender field:

Sndr: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

is now being accepted because my accepted_mail filter is matching the 'lists.lyx.org' sender domain.

***

I'd like to remove the

"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

regex pattern from my headers_accept filter file. This should have no adverse effect, as the

"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

regex did not match anything in the

"Subj: Re: SPAM Blocking: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"

header anyway.

I don't quite understand the subject line above. Have confirmation messages from TMDA been sent to the gmane.org list archives as well? As mentioned, I do examine my TMDA incoming filter regularly, and have never noticed any confirmation messages being sent there.

My TMDA accepted_mail filter has been setup to accept any email
sent from the following domain for a long time. So why it is suddenly matching the domain now I cannot tell.

lists.lyx.org

So if everything is working OK now, the only time anyone will get a confirmation message from tmda, is if they email me directly off-list.

There is no need for that though, as I watch the list regularly.

Hope this issue is sorted out now. Sorry for the problems it has caused.

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts
