Hello all.
I'm list administrator for a new UK healthcare mailing list. I want to add a disclaimer to all emails as a footer, and have set it up in the non Digest Options. I also want the footer to appear in the body of the email, not as an attachment.
If I set Content Filtering to "Yes" This works. The other content filtering options are:
Pass Mime Types-
multipart
multipart/mixed
multipart/alternative
text/plain
image
Remove attachments-
exe
bat
cmd
com
pif
scr
vbs
cpl
Edit collapse alternatives and Edit convert HTML are both YES.
The problem - one of the recipients' messages keeps bouncing with this error message:
The attached message matched the ukmastocytosissupport_ukmasto.org mailing list's content filtering rules and was prevented from being forwarded on to the list membership. You are receiving the only remaining copy of the discarded message.
Emails bounce when there is no attachment and when the subject and content are just "Test".
If I revert to no content filtering the footer is sent as an attachment.
The only difference I can see is that the email address is of the format <mailto:"Christian%20name"@"Surname".net> "Christian name"@"Surname".net
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The above two lines are redundant because you are alreaty accepting all multipart types with the first line.
text/plain
image
You are accepting attached images. This means any message with an attached image will be multipart after content filtering and will result in the footer being added as an attachment to those messages.

The message being bounced is a text/html message as opposed to a multipart/alternative message with text/plain and text/html alternatives. Since you don't accept text/html, the entire message is filtered out.
You want to add text/html to the pass_mime_types list. Doing so will accept this message and convert it to text/plain. It won't affect multipart/alternative messages as they are already being collapsed to the first (text/plain) part.
Note that if you encounter problems with the conversion of HTML to plain text, see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/Mailman+and+CPanel>.
