Hi!

As I am working on setting up a multilist/multidomain setup using Mailman 2.1.6, I encountered the need that I wanted to be able to set the default header filter rules so that the lists I create will all have the same basic rule (since we concluded we want one as default). It proved to be a fairly small hack, so I thought I contribute it to you.

diff MailList.py.orig MailList.py 342c342,343 < self.header_filter_rules = []

    self.header_filter_rules = \
          mm_cfg.DEFAULT_HEADER_FILTER_RULES

diff Defaults.py.orig Defaults.py 908a909,918

# New style SPAM Privacy header filtering # Mailman can match the patterns of header content and decide upon different # actions (Defer, Hold, Reject Discard and Accept). These properties is # configured per list, and here can the list default be set. # A list of rules where each entry contains the matching string, the action # code and an empty flag (set False). # Example (discard mails marked by SpamAssassin): #DEFAULT_HEADER_FILTER_RULES = [('X-Spam-Status: Yes', DISCARD, False)] DEFAULT_HEADER_FILTER_RULES = []

OK, it certainly could be cleaned up in the aspect of comments/documentation, but it should be the trivia part for you guys. It has been tested to work.

Cheers, Magnus
