Because “Filter=” is processed before “Send=” to avoid sending confirmation requests to filtered addresses if using “Send= xxx,Confirm” (and probably for other
reasons that I cannot think of off the top of my head).

Subject: bug or feature?
A list that I co-operate was the object of a single spam with a FROM:
Canadian-Meds <[log in to unmask]>
and of course was intercepted by LISTSERV with the following error message bounce:
The enclosed message, found in the abc-L mailbox and shown under thespool ID 133342665 in the system log, has been identified as a possibledelivery error notice for the following reason: mail origin is listed in the"Filter=" list header keyword (or its default value for the abc-Llist).
Now since the list is SEND= PRIVATE, and the FROM: is not a subscriber, why isn't this treated like any non-subscriber as opposed to one that is in a FILTER?
