[ TL;DR: the "default mail handling" option in LDAP now actually does
something by default :) and additional optional checks are available. ]

Hi,

This mail summarises recent updates to @debian.org mail handling.

All mail passing through the front-end mail servers is subject to a
number of mandatory checks that help to ensure that Debian's resources
are not overloaded. These mandatory checks include:
- "nomail" and "noservers" RBLs from SORBS;
- rate-limiting;
- fail2ban rules; and
- manually-curated blacklists.

Additionally, there are a number of optional checks which may be
controlled via your LDAP settings:
- greylisting;
- sender verification callouts;
- RBLs / RHSBLs such as Spamhaus XBL or SORBS "relay" RBL;
- malware scanning using clamav (with some unofficial signatures); and
- checking of URLs within a message body against the SURBL and Spamhaus
DBL.

The "mail content inspection action" setting can be used to determine
if the result of the final two checks should be to reject the mail,
blackhole it or deliver it to you with the addition of a header
indicating the issue.

Enabling "default mail handling" indicates that you accept DSA's
choices regarding @debian.org mail handling. In addition to the
mandatory checks mentioned above, this currently means that the
following optional checks are enabled:
- greylisting;
- Spamhaus XBL
- SORBS "relay" RBL
- Spamhaus DBL for sender address

Finally, documentation on @debian.org mail handling can be found at 
https://db.debian.org/forward.html, whilst all of the configuration
relating to "default mail handing" comes from DSA's Puppet repository,
a mirror of which can be found on Salsa. DSA may alter the mandatory
checks and/or the optional checks enabled by "default mail handling" as
necessary.
