It's likely due to Google's anti-spam technique falling afoul of how this list forwards our messages (written addressed "from" us but coming from the list server). While detecting that kind of thing may pick up spam with falsified addresses, it also erroneously picks up list mail. As to why some get junked, and others do not, I can't tell. My replies are addressed from a Yahoo address, are posted through the Yahoo server, and I logon to it to send them. That logon processes authenticates my mail, and ought to be good enough for any anti-spam service to accept my messages as being more likely to be genuine than spam. Before anyone kicks off about how list mail headers ought to come addressed "from" the list, the current form of addressing *IS* correct. It is from me, it's going *through* the server, and replies should go back to the list (the reply-to header is set that way). Mailing lists have been working like this one for donkey's years, and it's generally a better solution for getting people to reply to the list, by default, rather than virtually all replies being private, or apparently anonymous (because of being addressed from the list rather than from the author). I've seen plenty of archived mailing lists, where you google search for some problem, find a list of people asking that same question, and there being no answers, because nobody replied to the list. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.14.11-200.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 3 13:58:53 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted. There is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
