[Mailman-Users] Content Filter Puzzle

[Matt Minahan]

Dear Mailfolk, we're running a text-only list using Mm 2.1.1 on Red Hat Linux.

I have the content filter set up to reject all of the following:
content-type: .*octet
content-type: .*oda
content-type: .*audio
content-type: .*image
content-type: .*alternative
content-type: .*digest
content-type: .*mixed
content-type: .*related
content-type: .*rich
content-type: .*html
content-type: .*video

The pass mime types is set up for text/plain, and the action is "reject."

My problem: Mm seems to be sending out two different messages to the sender 
when an incoming message gets filtered.  Sometimes -- and I can't figure 
out when -- it's sending out: "The message's content type was not 
explicitly allowed"

And other times, it's sending out:
"Your mail to 'Odnet-test2' with the subject
     test
Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.
The reason it is being held:
     Message has a suspicious header"

The content/type of the incoming message in both cases is text/html, so I 
don't understand why Mm would treat them differently.  Any ideas about why 
the same content/type would trigger different actions by Mm?

Thanks.
