non-subscribers/moderated have the string "Delivered-To: moderator for ooo-users@incubator.apache.org" among headers, so they can be labelled. sorry for not being andrea.

That may well work Hagar, but I believe it would  require a change to 
the mailing list softwareand I do not know i we have access to that code 
or not.

Perhaps a workaround would be to invert the headers for the Delivered-to fileds: since the first one only is detected, then put the moderator first.

Thanks Andrea. This has been a thorn in the rear for the mail list(s)
for quite some time (years), so I sincerely hope that Apache can
eventually get this sorted out.

Interesting to know, thanks.

As you have probably discovered by now, talking to Infra isn't always 
easy, especially because with 150 projects they are quite reluctant to 
apply project-specific configuration.

But once the mailing list migration from the Incubator is completed (and 
the overall migration progress so far is good, as you see on 
http://s.apache.org/openoffice-graduation-changes ) we will try to see 
how to improve this. I was thinking of (a combination of) an 
"X-Apache-moderated: yes" header (similar to your proposal), adding a 
"[moderated]" tag at the end of the subject, setting Reply-To to 
list+sender instead of list only. But we will reopen this discussion 
again once the ooo-users list has been moved out of the Incubator 
namespace, which should happen within a few days, depending on Infra.

Regards,
   Andrea.

Yes. Been there done that (see my comments on that bug and also on 16913).

The _nonstandard_ 'Delivered-To' is used for loop-detection:
<http://people.dsv.su.se/~jpalme/ietf/mail-headers/mail-headers.html>
<http://www.ninebynine.org/IETF/Messaging/HdrRegistry/draft-klyne-hdrreg-prov-mail-00.html#hdr.Delivered-To>
and is not defined by any RFC. As such, 'Delivered-To', shouldn't be
used twice to begin with. Does the Apache listserv _really_ need two
'Delivered-To' headers for loop detection?

The easiest & best solution IMO would be to add it as an X header
(example: X-Delivered-To: moderator). That way it is a distinct header
that any mail or nntp client that is capable of filtering on headers can
use.

Certainly with all of the experience Apache has with mail lists, it
shouldn't be too difficult to make the modification... right?

Shane;

That filter will work fine to move them to a specific folder, but will 
not address the issue of easily identifying unsubscribed users. The only 
way I have ever found is to use the Delivered-To: contains moderator Tag 
[your favorite colour] construct. Unfortunately an unresolved bug in 
Thunderbird rules that out for people using it as a mail and nntp client.

Keith

Hagar Delest pointed out this unfortunate Thunderbird bug that still 
seems to be open, which means multiple header types might not be 
filtered correctly:

+1, this list in particular would get a big benefit if we could figure 
out clear instructions for this issue.

Exactly. Unfortunately it seems that Thunderbird filters often ignore it 
because they get confused by another "Delivered-To" header, so good 
sense (you can often guess that someone is new), CTRL-U (to check the 
source for this header) and "Reply All" (in doubt, just do it) help too.

After we migrate lists out of the @incubator.a.o addresses, we may want 
to talk to Infra to see if this can be improved.

   Andrea.
