Mind you, unless it was death threats you're unlikely to get anyone to take action on it. I just decided that I'd had enough of it, and wasn't going to deal with any more. People can contact me off-list, but either they mention it on-list and I reply (if I want to), or they do some sleuthing to figure out how to contact me. But it's not just harassing mail, some people are just plain nuts and you can do without having to deal with the weirder stuff they talk about when they're not in the public eye. Many years ago I responded back to a mailing list to a stupid private email, just so everyone could see what they were like.

Attempting to do so my throttle it somewhat, but not completely disable it. While it makes sense to have it detect mail from false addresses and spam-bin them, it's overzealous and fallible at coming to that conclusion. There's a lot of genuine mail that doesn't meet their criteria for authenticated. List mail often confused it, and there's a plethora of service providers that don't authenticate their user's mail as being verified. When you send through a SMTP server that requires you to log in, and you're a customer that somehow they've previously verified your identity, they should be flagging the mail as it goes through in a way that other servers trust. Not all do. And, of course the spam houses will fake that trust, anyway, for their own posts. > > And for an extra bonus: > > TO = myaddress@xxxxxxxxx ( never send to spam) I had tried that kind of thing before, but other non-user- controllable anti-spam filters were in effect *before* user customisable ones. While that may have changed, I kind of doubt it. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.53.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jan 14 13:59:45 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
