A request
Thanks, Etienne - I have now tweaked everything I could find in the SpamArrest setup, and hopefully this will stop the pain. Strangely, your message was flagged as a probable email forgery! Big type follows, don't be alarmed.... IF ANYBODY HAS ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS WITH SPAMARREST MESSAGES, PLEASE FORWARD THEM TO ME. I paid for their service, and it should be adaptable...... I do have an address "in the open" where I can receive this list, if my filter just won't adapt. Thanks for your understanding - I really did not know this had been a continuing problem. And Judy, thanks for bringing it to my attention! - Just Old John John wrote: I have placed this list on "approved" status, which I sincerely hope will solve the problem. It may or may not. The list server leaves the original "From:" header (showing the original poster's address) on distributed messages and adds a "Reply-to:" header (showing the list-post address). I assume it deletes any "Reply-to" headers present on the incoming message from the distributed messages, but do not know for sure. SpamArrest appears to key on the first "From:" header it encounters (rather than the "Reply-to:" header or any other "From:" headers that are present), at least to address its return message to blocked senders -- that is why individual posters are receiving the SpamArrest messages. If SpamArrest is using the "From:" header to identify senders to block, as well, you will have to approve every list member individually. You need to make SpamArrest key on the "Reply-to:" or "List-Id:" header to approve all list messages as a class. Best regards, etienne
