I suggest you create one for hold and another for discard. You can add a test regex into the first box and when you learn that it works right then move it to the second one to discard the spam silently. > Is the help text of respond_to_post_requests inaccurate in how it > claims that notifying posters of held messages excludes spam filtering? Historically, it was right statement once upon a time in 2.0.x era. -- Tokio Kikuchi, tkikuchi@ is.kochi-u.ac.jp http://weather.is.kochi-u.ac.jp/

This option overrides ever sending the notice." > Looks like this detail is outdated. I think new spam filters should be used to silently discard the known spams. Ivan, what version are you using? Newer version has more generic header_filter_rules to hold/reject/discard such messages. Developers, I think I will remove 'spam filters' from the detailed description above but what is the 'routine list moderation'? I think list-wide moderation was replaced by per-member moderation, right? > > However when I send a message to a list and it matches against a spam > filter, I receive an email back notifying me that my message was held > because a filter was matched.
