Thanks Milos,

However I've read that mailman uses python regexes to work so I'm still not sure, taking into account that the instructions on the very mailman config page difer a bit.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that < https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailman#Spam_scores%3E is the advice I followed on 1)

Regards, M.

1. I would write the regex this way: "^X-Spam-Score:\s*[0-9]+.[

0-9]+(+*)"

Note that "^" is here because SMTP protocol requires the filed to start at the beginning of the line. We can't be sure what's at the end of the line.

2. Mail servers should be able to recognize banned domains with just

"@banneddomain.com" or even "banneddomain.com".

However, if you really have to write the regular expression, then it should be like this: ".*@banneddomain.com"

Note here that you should escape both @ and dot. It would likely work without them, but it could break.

Dear colleagues,

I am writting to you all because I have doubts as to how to correctly configure some variables on some mailing lists I administer.

1. Spam

As noted on <> I added "X-Spam-Score:[^+]*[+]{4,}" at VARHELP=privacy/spam/header_filter_rules. Is that correct? I note that

the

...

header format is like "X-Spam-Score: 6.7 (++++++)" with numbers and curve brackets. Is that regex correct to match this?

2. Regex for filtering senders

We've got some email addresses from the same domain banned in VARHELP=privacy/sender/discard_these_nonmembers. To avoid the list to

grow,

...

I was thinking on using "^.*@banneddomain.com" but I'm not sure if

that'd

...

work. Could you please advice me here?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards, M.

This regex matches zero to inifinty '+' characters in the X-Spam-Score header. The original regex of "X-Spam-Score:[^+]*[+]{4,}" only matches when four or more '+' characters occur in series in the header. I know that regex works with mailman because I use it on the labs-l and labs-announce lists. Updating it with a start of line anchor would be fine too: "^X-Spam-Score:[^+]*[+]{4,}"

For anyone who doesn't read regex fluently (and honestly why should you), this pattern says: * "^" : match only at the start of a new line * "X-Spam-Score:" : match this literal string * "[^+]*" : match zero to infinity characters that are not '+' * "[+]{4,}" : match four to infinity '+' characters in series

Could I be made admin of it please ?

By sending an email to listadmins@lists.wikimedia.org you contact *all* other mailing list admins but nearly none of the subscribers on this list can change admins or reset passwords of other mailing lists.

For requests specifically about some mailing list, please file a task in Phabricator and associate the project "#wikimedia-mailing-lists". See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help for more info.

Thanks a lot!, andre
