I'm guessing this is related to DMARC/SPF or similar anti-spam mechanisms - a quick search suggests this is a common issue and nothing to do with mailing lists in particular. The remaining 1% feature senders from other domains, but otherwise look similar. I've never seen an actual spam sent via the mailing list, though about a year ago I did get a few spams in response to mails I sent to the list. Anyway my point is I'm not seeing evidence to support the assertion that gmail treats messages to the list in general as spammish. I'll keep a closer eye on what's ending up in spam, to double-check whether my "sender-identity" theory holds, or whether I'm picking up on a pattern which isn't really there. -Rowan _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
