There is a flaw in the lists.sourceforge.net mailservers.On Fri, Feb 07, 2003 at 03:23:30PM +0000, Mr. SAMUEL TEFAH wrote:From: Mr. Samuel Tefah E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Attn: The Managing Director,
Now that's funny! They start to send spam to the spam fighter's list :) Bad enough: The list's mail address is in my whitelist, so it didn't get tagged :( Cheers
I tried to address this to the sourceforge.net people yesterday but I don't expect much of a reply.
The problem is that the headers identify
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
as the Sender:
This is wrong.
The Sender: if people like Andre, Thomas, and other real HUMANS who are posting mail.
If there is the need for a Sender for lists.sourceforge.net then it should be at the very least, Resent-Sender.
However, it should be Resent-From first, Resent-Sender second, but never should it be Sender:
Unfortunately, some of the applications that I have created which are extentions of SpamAssassins basic functionality have a tendency to work off the Sender address.
Now where lists.sourceforge.net really screws up is that I am unable to contact the Sender in the event that I have an issue with the email that arrived. This is contrary to RFC822's intent.
The net result is that I do tend to blacklist a lot of lists.sourgeforge.net mailing list because I blacklist one email from one person on their mailing lists.
If they managed to follow the RFC's the way that they should, it would be a lot better for all of us. At the very least, you could drop the whitelisting of all lists.sourceforge.net and allow spamasassin to do it's job, like it's able to do for other lists:
postfix-users
debian-users
debian-laptop
procmail
mason
perl
bogofilter
gentoo-users
ltsp-user
are but a few examples of successfully working email servers.
I don't mean to pitch a bitch, but they need to fix it.
