spambouncer bulk legitlists

Hi,

while trying to get spambouncer to work, I keep getting my subscribed
mail lists being blocker or even marked as spam. I did make a
LEGITLISTS and it does contain the addresses of the lists I am
subscribed to.

$ procmail -v
procmail v3.22 2001/09/10

example of list in LEGITLISTS:
MACSCRPT@LISTSERV.DARTMOUTH.EDU

example of macscrpt header:
From: LISTSERV@LISTSERV.DARTMOUTH.EDU
Subject: MACSCRPT Digest - 23 May 2004 to 24 May 2004 (#2004-57)

Reply-To: MACSCRPT@LISTSERV.DARTMOUTH.EDU

Precedence: list

With VERBOSE=yes I see the part that checks the LEGITLIST and it
always ends with "no match". The fgrep that's in there uses -i so it's
not sensitive for case.

Who can help me with this ?

regards,
Ronald.

Don't bounce spam unless you can do it during the SMTP session.
Ohterwise you become a spammer yourself.

Ok, try somewhere else. Sorry for the mistake.
BTW: spambouncer can be used as a filter, just like spamassissin. Together
they take out lots of spam (but also my subscribed lists :-( )
Yes, spambouncer CAN bounce but I can see the problems with it. Most spam
directly goes in /dev/null (a few hunderd each day) for a few others I have
not yet decided what to do. There could be a real mail in it and it's not
very polite not to respond to mail ... and trash it. At the moment I just
block it and browse manually until I find a better solution.
