I know that bit, I just disagree with the conclusion that it is a misconfiguration.

And as a result legitimate email is lost. Which is warned about in the sender verification documentation. It just seems like intentional decision to me. Knowingly making such a decision just doesn't feel like the blame is fully on me. Still, I'm not happy with this, it is just that I didn't know (up to now it seems) of a sane way to change it, which I already pointed out in that bug or another one (I didn't reread). > > If you want to move it forward, explain how I can easily configure it > > exactly as I described in the bug.

Maybe it'll still work. Anyway, already replied in the bug. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ gnome-infrastructure mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-infrastructure
