FYI, we just solved this DMARC problem for the WG21 lists.

 

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, the committee reflectors were facing the 
same problem, and the same loss of Mailman host, because they were also hosted 
at Indiana.

 

This past weekend, we migrated the committee’s Mailman setup from Indiana to 
our own servers. Along the way we upgraded Mailman from the 2.1.15 being used 
on Indiana’s machine, to 2.1.23 which is the latest 2.x version, and the DMARC 
problems disappeared.

 

(We’re on the latest 2.x, not 3.x, because 3.x does not yet officially support 
migration from 2.x. So I’m just reporting FYI that the latest 2.x indeed was 
enough to solve this problem, as it was advertised to be.)

For your information as of the 14th December all mail from boost-dev is now SPF 
failing as well as DMARC failing.

 

Unlike DMARC which usually just means being sent into the Spam folder, SPF fail 
means sending email to /dev/null on many systems. Many users are now no longer 
able to receive any mail at all from boost-dev.

 

Here are the headers:

 

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.4.0 (2014-02-07) on

          mail.nedproductions.biz

X-Spam-Level:

          URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=no autolearn_force=no version=3.4.0

Received-SPF: Softfail (domain owner discourages use of this host) 
identity=mailfrom; client-ip=129.79.39.203; helo=wowbagger.crest.iu.edu; 
envelope-from=xxx; receiver=xxx 

Authentication-Results: mail; dmarc=none header.from=hetp.u-net.com

Can I draw your attention to the post below.. Can we get the mailman software 
for the boost lists upgraded as a matter of urgency?

In June 2016 gmail is going to be changing its DMARC policy to reject any 
unaligned mail. This means that we will be seeing any mailing list responses 
from a gmail.com <http://gmail.com>  address to be considered spam by any mail 
server that enforces DMARC.

 

For a while now yahoo.com <http://yahoo.com>  has had this policy turned on 
which has meant that yahoo.com <http://yahoo.com>  addresses have been 
considered spam.

 

Mailman has released a workaround in version 2.1.18: 
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg64098.html

 

The boost mailing list is currently on mailman 2.1.15. I'd strongly suggest 
that this should be updated as a matter of urgency else we'll find a lot of the 
conversations on this list will end up in the spam folder...

 

Regards,

James
