around 18 hours now and its still not showed up.
Is the moderator on strike? :))

It probably was simply inadvertently deleted. I sift through an awful 
lot of spam (>100 per day per list, down from 150-200 at the end of last 
year), and it is certainly possible that I missed it.

At one point, Jeremy was talking about implementing some Mailman spam 
filtering, and I would sure like to see that happen.

I am using a handmade filter script on a list I moderate, which just bounces
anything with X-Spam: yes.

/etc/alias file entry:

<list>:                     "|dropspam /etc/mail/smrsh/wrapper post <list>"

/etc/mail/smrsh/wrapper is the path to the mailman wrapper script.

dropspam is:

#!/usr/bin/perl

$inheader = 1;
    $header = "";

while (<STDIN>) {
    	if ($inheader && /^$/) {
    		open(OUTPUT,"|" . join(" ",@ARGV)) || die "cannot open output: $!";
    		print OUTPUT $header;
    		print OUTPUT $_;
    		$inheader = 0;
    		next;
    	}
    	if (!$inheader) {
    		print OUTPUT $_;
    		next;
    	}
    	if (/^x-spam: yes$/i) {
    		exit 67;
    	}
    	$header .= $_;
    }
    close(OUTPUT);
    exit 0;

(It slurps in the header, if it does not like it, it exit 67; , otherwise
 it passes the header and the mail one.)

You could also adapt it to bounce everything with SpamScore >= 10 or similar.

Ciao, Marcus

Still would like to.

What you don't explain here, is how the spam header gets there in the
first place. I suppose I could do something like this.

<list>:       "|spamc|dropspam /etc/smrsh/wrapper post <list>"

spamc is the spamassassin script, which checks for spam, then pipe to
the dropspam script. Spamassassin has a perl interface, so I could also
just do it in one script.

I forgot to mention that my list hosts runs mimedefang/spamassassin by default
before checking aliases. But yes.

I see what happened, since the patch was sent to both wine-devel and
wine-patches my procmail filter plopped it into my wine-devel folder as
that rule matches first. I'll change the priority there. Sorry about
that one.
