[MM3-users] Counter-intuitive header filter processing

Hello,

it seems like the way mailman3 processes header filters is a bit counter-intuitive.

With a header filter (HeaderMatch) like the following:

header => from pattern => .*@freesources.org chain => accept

I expect mails from *@freesources.org to be accepted regardless of the default message acceptance settings.

Apparently, that's not the case. If the default message acceptance setting for members is set to "reject", then mails from *@freesources.org get rejected even though the header filter says "accept". In other words, the default message acceptance action seems to overrule any header filters.

Is this expected behaviour?

Kind regards jonas
