I guess the upside to all these .... feedback is I learnt something about
standards, and how futile they can be sometimes.
Yeah we've followed the RFCs, yes there's DMARC serving its own purposes,
yes there's some mangling and yes there's a fix for it, but if the main
party (RH in this case) refuses to budge, shit remains broken. I'm not
pointing fingers at anyone but I'm not surprised why we haven't colonised
mars yet.
I personally find it annoying that James is getting stuffed into spam box
_all_ the time, but with all these explanations I've gotten I think I got
the better end of the bargain.
