I haven't seen Robin's patch neither on the list nor in my mailbox (if they were CC'ed to me). One thing that people need to be careful about is which SMTP server they use. I had an impression (I do not use send-email myself) that it defaulted to local MTA, so the mail trail would look like your local MTA receives from the MUA (which is send-email), which forwards it to whereever destination (or intermediaries). On the other hand, I suspect many people use their ISP's SMTP server when using their usual MUA, so the mail trail would look different. I do not know what filtering vger does, but if it is filtering based on the MTA address (dul.dnsbl.sorbs filtering comes to mind), that would make a difference. - 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
