Package: bugs.devuan.org

hey,

i don't know when this change happened, but i see bugs.devuan.org using
" X-Mailer: MIME-tools 5.509 (Entity 5.509) "

which is clarified as spam in some systems, because of "Entity".
a very common rule for mass mailers in email header_checks.. our own rule :

/^X-Mailer:.*\b(0001|Aristotle|Avalanche|Blaster|Bomber|Crescent
Internet Tool|DejaVu|DiffondiCool|E-Mail Delivery Agent|Emailer
Platinum|eMerge|Entity|Extractor|UltraMail|Sonic|Floodgate|GeoList|GOTO
Software
Sarbacane|Mach10|MailWorkz|MassE-Mail|MaxBulk.Mailer|MDaemon|MegaPro|Aureate|MultiMailer|News
Breaker Pro|SmartMailer|StormPort|SuperMail-2|Bluecom|Achi-Kochi
Mail|Direct Email |Andrew's SuperCool Blastoise|MailerGear|Advanced Mass
Sender|SpireMail|UltimDBMail|Mabry)\b/	REJECT No mass mailers allowed.
You are probably sending spam

came accross this, when i saw that an old bug was closed, and according
to bugs.d.o i was notified, but never got an email..
so, looked into mail.log and found out why.

it wasn't like that before, see following examples :

newest blocked message with entity x-mailer :
https://bugs.devuan.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=306;msg=19

older message received normally, without x-mailer header :
https://bugs.devuan.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=240;msg=9

thanks,
d.

Yes, I noticed. 

You are the only person triggering this and I am unable to see why at the
moment.

How are you submitting bugs? Reportbug? Just writing an email? Which client?

Thanks

Mark

just a single email through thunderbird mua (ceres latest), to
[email-masked] , with a subject & pseudoheader as per
instructions here : https://bugs.devuan.org/Reporting.html

smtp log (EEST timezone) :
Feb 23 11:21:34 server postfix/smtp[18282]: 2B16D2A14BC1:

Ok: queued as D9B5CF60991)

by default all outgoing emails are gpg-signed, don't know if that's an
issue (?)

then i get 2x times below messages
Your message to devuan-dev awaits moderator approval

let me know if you need anymore info.

OK, I think I have identified the problem (if not a fix, yet).

You appear to be using the Thunderbird Autocrypt addon. This is adding a
duplicate To: header to your email. And that means the email is handled twice by
debbugs.

aha! nice catch.
autocrypt is indeed integrated in enigmail addon, so i could add
per-recient rules to send unsigned to [email-masked] .

thx,
