The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Terry McLaren <address@concealed>]

Greetings Carsten -   Sympa comes with a number of default 'who can send' scenarios that can be found in:   /var/lib/sympa/scenari/   and are designated with the send.* prefix.    The scenario syntax is pretty straightforward and has a number of customizable attributes, reference https://www.sympa.community/manual/customize/basics-scenarios.html  for details.    I recommend you review the default scenarios to understand the logic and syntax and then create a test list to verify the new customized scenario behavior is as expected.    Feel free to ping me if you have any questions.

Regards,

Hi all,

sorry for this seemingly stupid question but I'm a bit lost as I don't
find much about this in the documentation (or looked at the wrong places).

I've got a mail server with spam detection running which forwards emails
to sympa (currently at 6.2.60 - Debian bullseye). The headers already
contain very clear indications that this email is spam:

X-Spam-Status: No, score=31.96
X-Spam-Level: *********
X-Spamd-Bar: +++++++++
X-Spam: Yes

But how do I change the list config to forward those to the moderator(s)?

I found a few issues on github discussing this (from 2020) but I'm not
even sure if I only need to enable "spam_status" in sympa.conf or
whether this is just "sugar" on top?

https://github.com/sympa-community/sympa/issues/849 talks about custom
matches and

"
match([msg->spam_status], /spam/)   smtp,dkim,md5,smime   ->
editorkey,quiet
"

looks like something which ought to work for me, but how do I configure
it setting spam if the score is larger than say 4.0?

Sorry for this probably rookie question, I thought I understood sympa
better after all these years ;-).

Cheers and thanks a lot in advance

Carsten
