Package: mailman Version: 2.1.5 Severity: normal
There are two issues with mailman related to it not accepting pr rejecting mails "with implicit destination" as per its config. First issue: Mails with "implicit destination" (which I think is a confusing term, too) are always subject to moderation. If a list receives lots of such mail a lot of manual work is involved. Mailman should simply respect it's accept (or reject etc. list). It doesn't matter wether the mail uses an "implciit destination", if the sender is subscribed or in the accept/reject list, mailman should act as it says. The second issue is similar, but this time mailman ignores the spam filters: I have spam filtering in place which tags spams, and corresponding discard filters. Problem is that a large part of actual spam falls into the "implicit destination" category which means it must be moderated despite the mail filters saying it should be discarded. This makes no sense at all, and I think is a bug. I think mailman should just drop this "implicit destination" logic. If it does serve some purpose, it should only be applied to mails that would otherwise be accepted, as it invalidates spam filtering and accept/reject lists otherwise (they are being ignored). At the very last it should be possible to disable this behaviour. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages mailman depends on: hi cron 3.0pl1-86 management of regular background p ii debconf 1.4.51 Debian configuration management sy ii exim4 4.34-10 An MTA (Mail Transport Agent) hi exim4-daemon-heavy [mail-tra 4.34-6 Exim (v4) with extended features, hi libc6 2.3.5-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii logrotate 3.7-5 Log rotation utility ii pwgen 2.03-1 Automatic Password generation ii python 2.3.5-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii thttpd [httpd] 2.23beta1-3 tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server ii ucf 1.18 Update Configuration File: preserv -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
