RE: [Mailman-Users] Dissapearing messages

Most likely there's a spam filter on the receiving mailserver. Some of them just discard spam messages without sending a bounce; this is nasty is the case of false positives.
I thought this too, but what I can't understand is why mail sent from the console gets delivered correctly.
Is there any part of the headers sent by mailman that might trigger a spam trap?
I'm really stuck for what to try next :/

Maybe the filter discards all messages where the recipient email address is not mentioned in a To: or Cc: header.
Maybe it's the Precedence: header.

I'd suggest having a careful look at the headers of the outgoing messages. It is possible for lists to be misconfigured in ways that result in invalid (broken) headers.
If you're sure that your headers are all fine, talk with a sysop of one of the receiving mailservers.

Hi,
I have a list for which I would like to "Demime" mails before they are archived by pipermail, but not when sent to the list members.
Is there a way to insert demime just before archiving? I looked at the code, but unfortunately I don't know Python, and couldn't quite understand the flow of the messages.
Thanks,
Milivoj
