[I know, I know, responding to my own post, yet again...] I think we've narrowed it down to certain newsfeeds dropping all the messages coming through the ruby-talk mailing list due to the new gateway header being "malformed": X-received-from: This message has been automatically forwarded from the ruby-talk mailing list by a gateway at pragprog.com. If it is SPAM, it did not originate at pragprog.com. Please report the original sender, and not us. Thanks! I briefly looked through the headers of all the messages that are still on our newsfeed spool and none of them have this header. While doing that I noticed an alternative, apparently unfiltered, method of injecting the same sort of information: X-Comments: This message was posted through Spamkiller.Newsfeeds.com X-Comments2: IMPORTANT: Newsfeeds.com does not condone, nor support, spam or any illegal or copyrighted postings. X-Comments3: IMPORTANT: Under NO circumstances will postings containing illegal or copyrighted material through this service be tolerated!! X-Report: Please report illegal or inappropriate use to You may also use our online abuse reporting from: http://www.newsfeeds.com/abuseform.htm X-Abuse-Info: Please be sure to forward a copy of ALL headers, INCLUDING the body (DO NOT SEND ATTACHMENTS) Organization: Newsfeeds.com http://www.newsfeeds.com 73,000+ UNCENSORED Newsgroups. Other messages which made it through the filter had fields like: X-Complaints-To: newsabuse@supernews.com\ X-Comment-To: "Paul Brannan" Abuse-Reports-To: abuse at airmail.net to report improper postings X-Sender: 520066389811-0001@t-dialin.net But I never saw an "X-received-from" field.
