Hello,

In the case of ham mail delivered from this ML, the X-MailFrom:
field in the header of the email is like this;

X-MailFrom: SRS0=nTug=NN=gmail.com=knurpht.opensuse@opensuse.org

But the X-MailFrom: field in all spam mails are,

 X-MailFrom: rebelssasha@gmail.com  

No, there are some good people posting with that type of header. It
is created by the HyperKitty interface on https://lists.opensuse.org/

And the return path is the same type.

These are people that do not use a mail program to post, but the
hiperkitty mail front at:

https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/users@lists.opensuse.org/

and click on "+start new thread" or hit "reply" at an existing post.

There is NO filter that will work, because there are good posters
here that use that interface, besides the spammers.

I just sent a reply to you using hyperkitty that you will not see.

On https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_lists_subscription it says:

"Why only subscribers may post an answer?
"The lists are high frequented mailinglists with many subscribers. We
want to prevent crosspostings and automaticly advertising (Spam).
Messages from non-subscribers are blocked or moderated / reviewed
before they get posted."

So why are spam posts via HyperKitty permitted?
