[MM3-users] Re: Reduction of spam - FROM_LOCAL_HEX

My guess is that the From address is very large, for example:

mylist-confirm+3eafa5bd24e52738c900e2e3fd05e366b7ea7580@myproject.eu

Is there any way to mitigate this problem?

The string 'mylist-confirm+3eafa5bd24e52738c900e2e3fd05e366b7ea7580' is created according to the setting

verp_confirm_format: $address+$cookie

in the [mta] section of mailman.cfg. You could override that by setting

[mta]
verp_confirm_format: $address

or maybe even something like `` [mta] verp_confirm_format: $address+no_reply

in mailman.cfg, but then you would also need to provide edited versions 
of the templates list:user:action:unsubscribe, list:user:action:invite 
and list:user:action:subscribe to remove the bits about 'simply replying 
to this message'.

Note that your spamassassin report is only assigning a score of 0.3 to 
FROM_LOCAL_HEX which isn't very much. Plus, there's no evidence that 
Gmail's proprietory spam checks even care about this.
