And/or do not use footer or such injections otherwise, it will

fields, because i definitely did not want to add some MIME
wrapper.  "Retain only text" means there are only natively
american speaking people i will assume.)

I see.  Ah, i was posting in February 2016.  Ah, yes, do not set
memorymailsize but to 0 if you want identical behaviour for
messages which fit it and those which do not.  Do set moderators
otherwise it crashes.  I seem to recall that my moderator did not
get some messages somehow, which was the final reason why i have
switched to mailman (later on).  These (but the last, which
definetely could have been postfix misconfiguration also, but i do
not think so) are all corner cases, however.

Maybe your message simply was not "meaningful" enough.  Mr.
Schmitt seems to make fine differentiations (citing his last
response to the other thread in February 2016), maybe not only for
me, but also for you!  You could start your messages with "i am
_not_ a friend of .." to get yourself started.  ;)  It could help!

Other than that, on my VM i see GNU mailman processing messages to
list members in intervals of two seconds (two seconds/one
message), which is possibly also a misconfiguration however (as it
is hard to believe other lists could be driven with it like that).
A nice day i wish,
