Dear Marko on the Postgresql Mailing List A whitelist based spam filtering system is simple to understand. postgresql.org emails get through. Individual member emails may not get through. In contrast to what you write, it is actually the list server that is braindead because it creates messages that have: - A "To" header value of pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - A "From" header value of the individual sender. So when we hit the reply button of our email client then we get the individual sender where in fact we would prefer to get the list address pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The list server should, if it was reasonably functional, add a "Reply-to" header with its own address. I have subscribed to quite a few mailing lists before, and naturally the first thing is to add the list server to the white list before I even subscribe. The postgresql.org server is the only braindead list server I have seen so far.

It does matter to me how people value me in the context of my work. However I have a job to do and it will get done anyway. Meeting friendly people makes it a lot easier, and it appears that there are plenty of friendly contributors on this list. Try to learn from these friendly people instead of teaching me your questionable values. > >Sorry, but you are asking help on a public list, think about it a bit...
