I just noticed: the new mailman instance we have at NMC is successfully
handling DMARC issues. Yay!
>From the "If You Care" department...
If you recall, we had a mass-unsubscription event a few months ago when someone
from @yahoo.fr posted to the users mailing list. That mail was dutifully sent
out "from" that @yahoo.fr address to several hundred subscribers, including
lots of Yahoo subscribers. Yahoo publishes DKIM DNS records, which is
basically an anti-email-spoofing technology. When all the Yahoo subscribers
received a mail from our list that was "from" a @yahoo.fr address, but *it
didn't come [directly] from a Yahoo email server* (because it came from the
open-mpi.org server), Yahoo's servers screamed "THIS IS SPOOFED YAHOO MAIL!
SPAMMER! SHIELDS UP!".
In the mail below, our new mailman instance detected that @broadcom.com also
publishes DKIM records, and therefore it changed the "from" address of the mail
to be from the list (vs. "from" the actual sender). I.e., the mail is from:
From: Sreenidhi Bharathkar Ramesh via devel <devel@lists.open-mpi.org>
instead of
From: Sreenidhi Bharathkar Ramesh <sreenidhi-bharathkar.ram...@broadcom.com>
Just FYI -- this is why you'll sometimes see mails "from" the list (vs. "from"
the sender). This will happen on all of the Open MPI lists, not just devel.
