[MOBY-l] Can't post to the list anymore

[Chris Dagdigian]

The "suspicious header" could mean that flags were raised by our anti- 
spam and MIMEDefang tests that happen before mail gets to the mailing  
list.

Another common cause happens at the mailing list software level -- we  
generally block any message that is not plaintext as spam messages  
are the ones that usually are HTML encoded or done up in some other  
funky MIME encoding method.  Generally, odd MIME encodings and any  
HTML email will trip this alert and cause the "must be moderated"  
flag to turn on.

When this happens again, the best thing to do is forward the message  
you got (with all headers) to me or mailteam at open-bio.org. It also  
helps to forward us the message you were trying to send so that we  
can figure out what exactly is tripping the moderate flag.

Regards,
Chris
