This is the first email I've received from cygwin since Mon, 13 Oct 2025
04:03:05 GMT. That's when I sent an email to the list which didn't come back and
isn't in the archive. (There's only 1 email from 13 Oct in the archive,
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2025-October/258880.html sent at 06:48:00
GMT).
If I see this email come back, I can re-send the 2 missing ones, otherwise ...??
I was dropped by the list server a year or so ago and had to
re-subscribe. No reason that I was able to determine. A sample size of
1, but it does happen.
Happened to me a number of times when my email providers took too long to
process/bounced incoming email, or had inadequate DKIM, DMARC, SPF
authentication records for their or my domains:

This is getting weird. I re-sent the 2 messages and they didn't get to cygwin
*again*. I guess some pattern in their content must be triggering cygwin's spam
filter. I'm contemplating sending them as gzipped attachments - does anyone know
if the spam filter unzips those and checks them anyway?
Could it be due to Oz or Optus limits, rules, or policies about content?

I've seen stuff happen with personal ISP local emails to family being blocked
from sending, or delayed hours by outsourced US-based miltering provider.
