Nabble allows off-list replies, and apparently even makes it easy to
use?  WTF, shouldn't the default be list reply, and anything else
guarded by serious confirmation dialogs?

Awesome, and it even breaks threading. How utterly annoying.


  Please keep the thread on-list, replying to the list. Do not reply to
  the sender, unless you got a good reason and *really* mean to.

No, that is not clear enough.

How do you integrate SA into your outbound mail flow? Hint: This needs
some special SA rules tweaks, cause you don't want some rules like PBL
to fire on your users' outbound mail, do you? Yes, some words explaining
your setup is better than an oh-so-easy config dump.

Is the outbound mail even scanned by SA, as desired? Intercept a sample
and show the headers. In particular the SA headers. That will show which
rules actually fire on your "no matter how spammy" mail.

(Thinking of this, some internal network or other white-listing settings
sure would offset any rules hit. Wild guess, no evidence at all.)

This again boils down to some good, verbose and detailed description of
your setup and environment. And most importantly, showing *any* proof to
substantiate the "doesn't work" complaint.


And, yeah, well... As you said, your "mail server will not scan outgoing
mail". Right. That means your non-SA configuration is the culprit. SA
scans what it gets. If it isn't scanned, you're not filtering through SA
or ignoring the result. That's a problem with anything *but* SA. Read,
not a SA problem, and you should ask somewhere else.

Are you sure you want to stand by *that* problem description as-is?
