sender filter should take precedence over spam filter

[Vseerror]

Moderated list

In Privacy options...Sender Filters (privacy/sender) I put an email address X@Y.Z in "List of non-member addresses whose postings will be automatically discarded." to be rejected

In Privacy options...Spam Filters (privacy/spam) I have filters to match on spamassassin and other fields - in some cases to hold messages for moderation.

Messages from X@Y.Z that match a Spam Filter are not being rejected.
I detail this in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1297763

This is not a bug. It is a design decision.

If you want to do membership tests (moderation and non-member tests) before header filter rules, you can configure that by putting the following in mm_cfg.py.

GLOBAL_PIPELINE.remove('Moderate')
GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(GLOBAL_PIPELINE.index('SpamDetect'), 'Moderate')

You could also address this with a header_filter_rules rule of the form

regexp: ^From:.*\WX@Y\.Z(\W|$)
action: discard

ahead of your other rules.
