[Mailman-Users] Mailman/SpamAssassin holding for moderation instead of discarding spam

[Fletcher Cocquyt]

³Post by non-member to a members-only list² is the reason

If I grep the logs for a sample spam that is held instead of discarded, I
see:

message-id=<1205885237.1549 at dyckes.com>: Post by non-member to a
members-only list

I also see this in the mailman error log:
Mar 18 15:45:02 2008 (18680) spamd: not enough words in response header

Mar 18 15:47:33 2008 (18680) spamd: not enough words in response header

Which is from spamd.py:

god at smtp-02:logs 4:19pm 133 # egrep "not enough" ../Mailman/Handlers/*.py
../Mailman/Handlers/spamd.py:            raise error('not enough words in
response header')

But I¹m not sure if that is relevant ­ any tips appreciated
