AFAIK, vger does not do anything like this. They block HTML, messages lacking a message-id, messages over 100K, and certain taboo phrases: http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html#taboo And anyway, I do not think vger is responsible here. The messages were delivered through the list, and other archives have them. This looks like a gmane problem. According to gmane.org, their admins will look manually at messages flagged as spam, but I find it unlikely that they flagged several days worth of git traffic (and when they do, I think they cross-post them to a spam group in NNTP, and the messages do not seem to be marked as such). So I think this really is just a bug. > And frankly, if I were a list moderator and software asked me through > this sort of coincidence whether a mail should be delivered or not and a > glance at it shows nothing but insults, wild accusations, threats and so > on for the umpteenth time, I'd consider twice clicking "Accept". > Whether or not I ultimately did so, this would likely contribute to the > delay. I do not disagree, but please let's not rehash all of that again. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
