Nope, esp. since you're not providing the message you're receiving from
which you're getting the impression that your mail is considered
spam. From a recent post by someone else complaining of having had their
mail queued for admin approval is representative, then the bounce would
have had a line such as:
Your mail to 'procmail' with the subject
Followed by a brief explanation of the reasoning. That might include a
SPECIFIC reference to "suspicious header". Subject: and From: are headers,
but beyond those two, there's a lot of headers you don't exert much direct
control over.
I don't remember posting anything off topic.
One (of many) possibility is that your ISP is (was) on a blacklist, and the
procmail list admin (WHO IS NOT, AFAIK, A LIST PARTICIPANT), has set up a
rule to block based on DNSBLs of mailhosts through which a message
passed. I can't say.
If the message indicated that there were suspicious headers, check out the
headers of your message WHEN you receive a bounce (send a message to
yourself at an account with a different ISP, then check each relay host in
a DNSBL checker).
Contacting list administrator at his email address is
useless since probably he is seeing a spam alert
instead of a message.
BUT, if you're capable of posting to this list today, perhaps from an
alternate account, then you should be able to contact the listadmin via
that same address. OR, if you're using the original address, and this
message has passed through without generating a bounce, then why shouldn't
it reach the admin.
I'm not familiar with the list software used on this list, but IME, the
listowner address is rarely subjected to ALL the same filters that the list
submission address is.
Should the listadmin be reading this - I applaud the efforts to reduce the
amount of "drive by" spams sent to the procmail list.
