Serge,

Thanks for clearing that up for me!

Something occurred to me as I was thinking about this problem -- if  
this were a configuration variable then we could utilize scenarios to  
determine whether or not a given list dropped messages from senders  
matching that variable, couldn't we?  I would propose we pull this  
hard-coded regex out of sympa.pl, add it as an option to sympa.conf  
or robot configs, set the default scenarios to reject based on that  
default string, and add an additional action for send.* scenarios:   
owner, which would send the message in question along to the list's  
owners (which we would want).  I believe I can produce the code for  
this using the latest CVS HEAD as my working copy.  Hopefully I'll be  
able to start working on this next week.  Does this sound like a good  
plan and something that will benefit more than just us at Duke?

Thanks,
Jeff
