 Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA
[snip]

er, that subject says this is very likely to be a placeholder message for your pop server or somesuch, not a list message. What gives you the idea that THIS message is really a list message?

Note that both this and the following message are From_ mailer-daemon - that is also not consistent with a legitimate list message.


I haven't followed this thread up to this point, since this is such a mundane problem, but I get the distinct impression that you're using fetchmail or somesuch to retrieve messages from a remote server - that's generally the only reason you should be retrieiving that placeholder message. If you manually check your mail (say via a web client or something) and note that the ONE apparent message in your inbox is a list message, and then run fetchmail to retrieve your mail, that first message you retrieve isn't going to be the message (since your POP server seems to be adding this placeholder message to your POP mailbox).

Have you bothered examining the MESSAGE which has been "misfiled", so that you can see for yourself that it isn't a list message?


FTR, one of your prior messages "from" the Procmail list that you claim didn't have the X-Beenthere header was probably a direct bcc: from someone who posted a previous reply. Check that the received: headers of that message actually show it having come FROM the list server, or elsewhere. There is absolutely NO reason some messages FROM the list server wouldn't have consistent headers.
