Hi all, this year I've been blacklisted several times by spamcop due to listserv-autoreplys and I have to admit: spamcop is right, since listserv is very noisy. So currently I'm trying to reduce listserv-autoreplys and hope that some others can share their experience. First, 1/8 of my mailinglists are both public and have "ACK = YES". So for spam sent to those lists, a fake-sender will receive an autoreply. "ACK = YES" will be officially disallowed ASAP. I never wanted it, but my predecessor made it a default... There is no way to enforce this setting globally, right? I just have to run a script regulary, checking the lists and disabling them for policy-violations, right? When sending an information-mail to all listowners, I received lots of "confirmation required"-messages and one "The LISTSERV network has determined that you have been posting an abnormally high amount of identical messages to multiple LISTSERV mailing lists. To ward against a possible spamming attempt, your posting privileges are being withdrawn for the next 48 hours. While you will still be able to post to the mailing lists, your messages will be forwarded to the list owners for verification before they are distributed." Is it guaranteed that a suspected spam-sender will only get one such e-mail? I'd disable this e-mail, but can't find a template to do so. BTW, I have only been sending to listowners and those e-mails have been quietly "Rejected by spam checker and discarded." (listserv-log). At the very least the template should be extended to include "if you send to listowners, your e-mail will be dropped", otherwise the sender will be confused. I'd consider it to be better not to drop those e-mails to listowners, since people who are blacklisted might want to contact the listowners to resolve that issue. No way, right? The next kind of auto-replys I'd like to reduce is the kind "Waiting for moderation". Since all messages pass through SpamAssassin before being processed by listserv, I thought I'd might use the ContentFilter to do something like "highly suspicious spam: moderate, but don't inform sender. suspicious message: moderate, sent information". I suppose if it was about rejection and if I modify the correct template, I could achieve that. Something like "Action: REJECT spam" and have the template check, 'if the message is "spam" then result ".QQ"'. However, I can't find such a template int the first place and sadly "Action: MODERATE" does not accept a message in the first place... Any ideas what could be done to send "waiting for moderation" conditionally? Any further ideas? Messages I have missed bould should be disabled? -- CU, Patrick.
