>> Would it be possible to prefix the Subject with something like >> [TechEmbedBSD] so the the Subject line reads as follows? Yes, of course that's possible. (How much work would it be? I don't know; I don't know anything significant about the NetBSD lists. Quite possibly, more work than the listadmin(s) want(s) to put in.) > Such configuration makes verification of DKIM signature (and > DomainKey Signature) fail. So, anti-spam measures which use DKIM > signature won't work with it. Only if the DKIM signature covers the Subject:. While I'm not all that familiar with DKIM, I think it has fairly fine-grained control of what it signs over. But the same information is trivially - and more accurately - available in the envelope-from. (Yes, there doubtless is filtering software in existence that can filter on Subject: but not envelope-from. This is a reason to get better filtering software, not a reason to damage the list for everyone just to deal with one subscriber's choice of inadequate filtering software.) /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
