Thread: Email filter problem with 'index'
I have found that some of my emails are being blocked by our email filter. I turns out that the word 'index' at the start of a line in my git patches is causing this. Now that most git patches have a line starting with the word 'index', e.g. index acd2514..b2da1cf, can we remove this limitation? Thanks. I assume the rule is there to prevent people from sending Majordomo 'index' commands to the public list. Magnus says this is the rule: GLOBAL ADMIN BODY: /^\s*index\s+\S+\s*$/i -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. +

FWIW, they should never be *trashed*. If they match that regex, they get *moderated*, not deleted. Right, marc?

The question is how many people are doing that vs. how many people accidentally have these words in their email text. We know "index" was one of them, so it was removed.

I think only the moderators would know how many of the majordomo emails are being caught by the filters below. My guess is that there are very few aside from subscribe/unsubscribe. "who", "which", and "info" seem like they are likely to be caught in normal emails. What if we disable most of these and see how many get through to our list, again keeping subscribe/unsubscribe and "remove me"? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > > >>> Marc G.

They were caught in the moderation queue, which I checked when I got back off my flight. clearly whomever else is moderating -www was also not available for 2 days or however long it was before it got released. I didn't check *why* they were backed up, I just released them. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Very few messages are being caught in the filters. Note that most patterns are anchored to start and end of line (allowing only for some intervening whitespace), so just having them in a message does not trigger the filter. The "index" pattern was special because it matches a common pattern of certain git diffs, so it was rightly removed. I don't think the others merit the same treatment. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@commandprompt.com> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
