Its happening for me as well. Ingo, do you see a similarity between the
headers of my mails and the ones from Vojtěch?
Quoting from the headers you sent me as an example, Ingo, I do have X-Spam
headers (needlessly as SpamAssassin shouldn´t run for mails I deliver via SMTP
AUTH. I have an idea on how to change it, but I unlikely I get around to it
before my holidays).
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.4.1 (2015-04-28) on
mondschein.lichtvoll.de
X-Spam-Level:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=7.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00
autolearn=ham autolearn_force=no version=3.4.1
But it very clearly says:
X-Spam-Status: No
while Mailman searches for Yes.
And there is definately no HTML in my mails nor any header related to it.
So or so according to hints elsewhere this appears to be the legacy spam filter
in Mailman. Is it necessary to filter for "X-Spam-Status: Yes" there?
postbox.kde.org could decline such mails already. Hmmm, I think best is to
open a sysadmin ticket. I just created one: T6075 (I think it is set as
private with sysadmins).
Thanks,
