The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

In Sympa we consider this feature as relevant to the site policy, not to a specific mailing list policy. Therefore such a feature is not provided through the list admin pages.

Sympa has a scalable and extensible authentication and authorization architecture that is well described in the reference manual :
http://www.sympa.org/doc/html/node12.html
http://www.sympa.org/doc/html/node13.html

You can also read this article : http://www.sympa.org/documentation/AA-in-Sympa/

Basically you will define a so called "autorization scenario", global to your site that will look like this :

## This is the /home/sympa/etc/scenari/include.send/header
## It will be prepented to all send.xxx scenario for all lists
## Unless it is redefined at the list level
match([header->X-Spam-Level],/*********/)   smtp -> editorkey

This way you have a global antispam policy at the site level.
You can use the same mecanism to manage blacklists, reject multipart messages, ... it's up to your creativity now !

currently I consider moving from listserv to sympa. My first impression is really very good and sympa offers many features that I miss badly with listserv.

However, with listserv (and mailman) I can define that e-mails are to be rejected or held for moderation, if they contain a special header.
Currently my SpamAssassin adds a flag "X-Spam-Level: ****", one "*" character for each point assigned by SpamAssassin. In this example, the SpamAssassin-score would be between 4.0 and 4.9.

My listowners can define for each mailinglist, that e-mails containing the header "X-Spam-Level: *********" are to be dropped and e-mails containing "X-Spam-Level: *****" are held for moderation. In this example, e-mails having scored more than 10 would be dropped an e-mails scoring 5 to 10 would be held for moderation.

I found no option to implement something like this with sympa? Is such a feature on the todo or is there a way that I have missed?
