Re: list admin issues

You're not the only one, happens to me too. I found some old ML thread
from a couple years back where someone mentioned the same thing.
I do notice from time to time spam coming through (not much though and
it seems to come in waves) although I'm not sure how much gmail is
bouncing but nobody else seems to complain about spam.

Gmail has a 25MB attachment limit and I'd be surprised if someone
sends 25MB+ attachments. So it's most likely an attachment with a
blocked extension or a "dangerous" link as written here:
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6590

Who knows, there might be someone on the list deliberately including a
"signature" or attaching a file with a blocked extension to
deliberately annoy gmail users in order to "educate" them (I remember
similarly annoying behaviour from the Usenet days)
