[gentoo-user] The Full Story.

2019-10-31 Thread Alan Grimes
Ok, it's about 2:45 AM, I thoughtlessly did something absurdly risky,
resize a chromium browser pane by clicking on the edge of the window and
dragging it a few pixels, so naturally X11 goes down taking my number
theory code with it. Reminder: I had run that code from May 1 through
last week and only voluntarily rebooted my machine

I googled for it ages ago and someone had it figured out.  So far, it
works still.  You set up a filter and it should look like this:


Matches: from:(*) to:(*) subject:(*) *
Do this: Never send it to Spam


Basically, that disables the spam filter.  I don't get a lot of it but I
do get some.  When I go to gmail it never shows anything in the spam
bucket.  It shows this:


Hooray, no spam here!


Reproduce that and cross your fingers.  ;-)

I used to get these as well because of badly configured spamfilters of ISPs.
Ever since I run my own SMTP servers, I haven't encountered these anymore.

I suppose it might be Yahoo's DMARC policy, see, for example:

https://wiki.list.org/DEV/DMARC

Alan Grimes' e-mail address seems to be from Verizon, which is, if I
understand correctly, Yahoo Mail.

If that is the case, I guess Gmail is not marking these messages as
SPAM, but rejecting them as a result of the DMARC policy, and the
message you get is from the mailing list software at gentoo.

It's been doing that for a couple of days. the good news is that chromium
continues to work here, the rebuild was triggered by an icu update.

There is a bug report but when I looked this morning there were no
replies.

That's what I was sort of referring to.  It does it on gmail's receiving
end not the sending end.  That means it never gets to my spam filter
since it is junked before it gets there.  That makes sense. 

You know, it's bad when a individual has their email marked as spam that
way. 

Thanks much.

Oh, so I may be missing some messages but nothing important.  lol  I
seem to recall him being the one using that script and then complaining
because his script did things wrong and left him with a mess.  It's the
polar opposite of the other Alan that used to be on here who used
scripts but had them doing something the right way.  I wonder what
happened to him. 

At least I know it isn't just me.

What Michael suggests is Google Mail drops those messages altogether and we do 
not receive them at all.  Not in our Inbox, not in our Spam folders.  We do 
however receive a message from Google's mail gateway mentioning that some 
messages were bounced.

This is not a problem for me.  I can read the original bounced message either 
via responses provided to it, or if not (fully) quoted in the response, at the 
Mailing List archives - e.g. for message 188380:

https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user/message/
805899603d74dd747515c1d5e63f5ebe

Incidentally, I think most frequently the bounced messages were sent from 
Mr.Grimes.

I sent for and got the help thingy and tried to get it to send me the
missed messages.  So far, I've yet to get anything including a error

Since you're both on gmail, those messages were probably rejected as

Thanks much for the info.  Let's not go down the hal road.  Still gets
my blood pressure up.  lol 

It sounds like I don't need it but most likely KDE will moan and groan
without it so I'll just switch and let the chips fall where they may.  I
guess if nothing else, while it is still in the tree at least, I could
switch back and try to find solutions to whatever I run into.  Once it's
gone tho, not a option, easy one at least. 

Thanks again.

I get these related to -user and -dev which throws threading out of
whack.  I see replies to messages or the thread starter that doesn't
