The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Garith Dugmore <address@concealed>]

Hello,

I've tried what was recommended below but I still seem to be missing 
something.

What I have currently:

-----------------------------------------------------
# cat /etc/sympa/sympa.conf | grep spam
spam_status     x-spam-status
-----------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------
# cat /etc/sympa/scenari/spam_status.x-spam-status 
title.gettext test x-spam-status  header

match([header->X-Spam-Status],/yes,/) smtp,dkim,smime,md5 -> spam
true()                                         smtp,dkim,md5,smime   -> ham
-----------------------------------------------------

After a restart of sympa I see the following in the logs while in debug mode:

-----------------------------------------------------
Mar 28 11:27:12 list sympa[26299]: debug Scenario::request_action() 
List::request_action spam_status,smtp,list.XXXX.XX.XX
Mar 28 11:27:12 list sympa[26299]: debug2 Scenario::new()
Mar 28 11:27:12 list sympa[26299]: debug2 Scenario::_parse_scenario() 
(spam_status, x-spam-status, list.XXXX.XX.XX)
Mar 28 11:27:12 list sympa[26299]: debug2 Scenario::new()
Mar 28 11:27:12 list sympa[26299]: debug2 Scenario::verify() 
(match([header->X-Spam-Status],/yes,/))
Mar 28 11:27:12 list sympa[26299]: debug3 Scenario::request_action() rule 
match([header->X-Spam-Status],/yes,/),smtp,spam accepted
Mar 28 11:27:12 list sympa[26299]: debug2 List::new() List::new(it, 
list.XXXX.XX.XX, )
Mar 28 11:27:12 list sympa[26299]: debug2 List::load() List::load(it, 
list.XXXX.XX.XX, )
-----------------------------------------------------

I also see below these entries that it sends the email to all the 
subscribers. I'd like all spam to be moderated for now. I've tried using 
"editorkey,quiet" but I get the same result.

To test I've used telnet on port 25 and ran something like:

-----------------------------------------------------
# telnet XXXXXX 25
Trying XXXXXXX...
Connected to XXXXXXXX.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 XXXXXXXX ESMTP Postfix
helo there
250 XXXXXXXX
mail from:<user@XXXXXXXX>
250 2.1.0 Ok
rcpt to:<list@XXXXXXXX>
250 2.1.5 Ok
data
354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>
X-Spam-Status: Yes, test
Subject: Test - ignore
From:<user@XXXXXXXX>
To:<list@XXXXXXXX>
test

.
250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 47F371120CD8
quit
221 2.0.0 Bye
-----------------------------------------------------

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
