Karl, thanks a lot for your response, I didn't know about per-project MIME content filtering but it was indeed the root of the problem so this ticket can now be closed.

 Thanks again!

Hi Vadim, Gregory,

The GNU mail system is currently experiencing long delays in general (on some but not all messages).  I do not know why.

Regarding content filtering, it is possible to turn it off on a per-list basis (the default is off, as far as I know).  Gregory, for your convenience, that would be:
http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/admin/lmi/contentfilter

I do recommend turning it off and leaving it off.  My experience is that the content filtering causes more problems than it solves.  Spam in general should already be getting deleted automatically (though asynchronously), since I see listhelper (http://listhelper.nongnu.org) is enabled for the lmi list.  So the content filtering isn't buying anything on that front, at least.

I'll leave this request open for a couple days, though I don't know of anything more we can do at this end.  If the problems with message delays continue, -email is unavailable- are the ones who would know what's going on.

Best,
-email is unavailable-

Hello,

Messages to lmi project mailing list seem to be delivered with a long delay or not at all since a couple of days. My message accepted with id=1O9emt-0004BZ-9l by eggs.gnu.org MX bounced with a strange "after content filtering the message was empty" (maybe, but it definitely wasn't empty before it) error 6 hours later. I resent it and it was accepted with id=1O9kTV-0007Tl-0j but 3 hours later bounced again with "explicitly disallowed content type" error (there were no attachments, just a multipart/signed message with a text/plain part inside it). I've resent it again (accepted with id=1OA3I0-0007zV-6s) but it didn't get delivered to the list.

It seems something is wrong with the content filtering which takes inordinate amounts of time and returns wrong results at the end. I don't think it's possible to disable it for just this mailing list but if it were, it would be great if you could do it. Fixing it would work too, of course :-)

TIA!
