The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Miles Fidelman <address@concealed>]

Hi,

I've been trying to get this working from the FAQs (HOWTO/How to 
moderate/reject suspected Spam messages ?)"

-----
For the send action, the scenario header file will be 
include.send.header, here is an example that moderates presumed spam 
messages :

is_subscriber(blacklist,[sender]) smtp,md5,smime -> reject
match([header->X-Spam-Flag],/yes/) smtp -> request_auth

If the message sender is subscribed to our blacklist his message will be 
rejected. If the message was considered as Spam by SpamAssassin 
(X-Spam-Flag: yes) Sympa will request a mail confirmation (request_auth) 
from the sender.
------

I seem to be running into several problems, and I'm wondering if a) I'm 
doing something wrong, or b) this no longer works in later revs of Sympa:


1. Where do I put the "include.send.header?"  I've been trying it as 
/home/sympa/expl/<testlist>/scenari/include.send.header, but even after 
restarting sympa it seems to be ignored.

Am I correct that this should be read before whatever send.* scenario I 
select for the list (either from the default set or one that's 
overloaded by a local definition)?

Am I correct that if I put include.send.header in /home/sympa/etc/ then 
it will apply to the send.scenarios selected for all lists?

Note: I can't find any reference to "include.send.header" in any of the 
documentation, which leads me to wonder if this is no longer functional.



2. The syntax in the FAQ - match([header->X-Spam-Flag],/yes/) - doesn't 
seem quite right.  I'm wondering if it should be:
match([msg_header->X-Spam-Flag],/YES/)


3. I'm trying to work out the logic here.  I particularly want to apply 
this to a list I'm using as a "drop box" for submissions to a 
publication - i.e., anybody can send to the list, which distributes 
things to an internal set of editors.  But I'd like to apply spam filters.

If I just add the above rules, the seem to conflict with the basic 
definition of a public list:
true()       smtp,smime,md5    -> do_it

Any thoughts on how to do the following:

- if X-Spam-Flag = YES - request_auth (and if autherisation is recieved, 
then distribute)
- if X-Spam-Flat not exist, or = NO -> do_it

Thanks much,

Miles
