[Mailman-Users] messages getting auto discarded

[Jim Dory]

I've gotten a ton of spam directed at our mailing list so I set up some
auto discard filters. Unfortunately I don't know regular expressions so may
have misconfigured - result is some seemingly valid messages getting
discarded (could be different reason than my filters).

A couple yesterday were from un-subscribed users. but usually I get a
bounce saying it is held for moderation.. though not in this case. I don't
always check the auto discard messages because of the number of them, but a
registered user sent an email that never showed up as a bounce (held for
moderation) or as accepted, so I assume it was auto discarded as well.

Here's my filter config for subject:

The subject on one discarded msg was (from unsubscribed user - just used
wrong email):
MEDITATION! RURAL BUSINESS FINANCE! Register today.

And another subject same situation:
SPARC MEETING

Message sources didn't give me any clues, but I could provide one if it
would help.

thx, JD
