Spam to "mailmain" list oddity
Mailman version 2.1.8
I administer mailman on a few domains, and on one I receive a lot of spam seemingly sent to the mailman@ list. I can work on my spam filters, but I'm trying to understand the path the mail is taking through mailman.
The mailman@ list has only me as the admin and NO members.
I have just a handful of lists on this machine: users@, dev@, svn@, etc.
When mail is sent to mailman@ I get a message with the following headers:
Return-path: mailman-bounces@
Envelope-to: <my email address>
X-Original-To: mailman@
Delivered-To: users-owner@
The body of the message is simply the sender's body only -- it's not a mailman-generated message (e.g. approval message).
In my sender filters I have:
generic_nonmember_action: hold
My question is why is mail to mailmain@ seemingly getting delivered to users-owner@?
Another thing I'm finding curious: I have RFC2369 headers enabled on all lists (including the "mailman" site list). And indeed messages on the other (e.g. users@) lists include these headers. But mail sent to mailman@ does not include these headers. Why is that? Because List-Post, List-Subscribe, etc. have no uses for the mailman list?
