Unfortunately I don't know if we can set up anything that complex on the list server, on the other hand adding a regexp to the list spam filter is pretty simple. Is it 100% the best solution probably not, is it the best we can do with the tooling we have probably.
Just out of curiosity, what is the regex?
"^New Tumbleweed snapshot [0-9]+ released"
Does it only check the subject line?
Yep.
Sometimes, people may want to comment on the packages being updated as a whole (such as versioning etc), or they want to comment on the actual email itself (maybe a layout or formatting error, it is [somewhat?] system generated after all). It seems hitting reply may be the first thought regardless of the "please do not reply" in there. Can this be made a little more gentle (and accurate, it is not spam, it is a beach of policy)?
There are three conditions to be met for such a mail to be rejected: if "subject matches regex" and "list is factory" and "sender is not dimstar" then reject. The easiest place to do that is in SpamAssassin, which we run on our two mailservers. It would be nice if the reject was accompanied by a gentle explanation, and I did try - the SpamAssassin rule has the appropriate explanation for the rule. Unfortunately, I overlooked that this text is not provided for the sender when we reject :-( -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.9°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes
