NOTE: I had tried posting this yesterday, but the message never got posted. I checked the logs, and it showed that it was received, passed spam filtering, and then... nothing. What followed was several hours of debugging with the help of Claude Opus 4.8. I finally tracked down the root cause, but had no idea why it started failing now: I hadn't changed anything since the list upgrade back in January. While I was messing around I decided to also fix the broken footers, so those should be working.

I use rspamd (https://www.rspamd.com/) as my spam filter. I have the list software configured to run everything through it before it begins processing any email; those that are flagged as spam are written to a file and otherwise ignored. Once a day I have a script running on a cron job that analyzes that file, and sends me a single email summary of the previous day's suspected spam for review. It's rare to find legitimate mail that was incorrectly marked as spam, but it does happen. The script extracts the subjects, senders, and recipients, and sorts them by count, and then alphabetically. It also contains a link I can click to delete the file if there's nothing good in it. This morning's summary was larger than usual. Typically there are a couple hundred held spam messages a day, but yesterday the total was 933! That's a lot of spam! I was going to include the email summary in this post, but with all those spammy subjects, it wouldn't make it through any of your spam filters, so I posted it on my website, with some internal details redacted. https://leafe.com/docs/listspam.html -- Ed Leafe _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: https://lists.leafe.com/postorius/lists/profox.leafe.com/ To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] OT-free version of this list: https://lists.leafe.com/postorius/lists/profoxtech.leafe.com/ Searchable Archive: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
