I went through this about 18 months ago configuring my email server to use authentication to prevent Gmail from silently eating random emails. This helps but I still have random problems communicating to Gmail accounts. In one case a friend and I had exchanged ~10 emails in a thread and Gmail randomly start blocking them. Sent same exact text from my Gmail account and it was fine. Very frustrating for Google to silently block. They seem to be the worst at actually blocking spam while not blocking legit emails.

Turns out Dreamhost hasn't figured out yet how to wrap or chain mailing list messages properly using encrypted authentication. That's a bit disappointing, but it sounds like it's been a major problem for many mailing lists. (See: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-levine-dmarc-listugh-01.html) Dreamhost currently has the following documentation about DMARC and mailing lists: https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215029308-Manage-a-Discussion-List In the "from_is_list setting" section, they say that you can get around the DMARC problem by selecting the "Munge From" radio button under General Settings. While "Wrap Message" sounds like what you want, they have a big warning that you should under no circumstances click the "Wrap Message" button as it is currently broken! I expect eventually they'll get wrapping or ARC chaining working. I think Munging is probably the best you can do with Dreamhost for now, but it does have potential downsides, such as making it hard for certain mail readers to show who a message is truly from. —b9 P.S. Obligatory on-topic message: I was trying to figure out how Compuserve's Backgammon game worked on the Model 100 since I was curious how it sent the graphics. I stumbled across Brian K. White's nifty M100SIG archive of Compuserve circa 1996 <https://github.com/LivingM100SIG/Living_M100SIG> which is a treasure trove of historical artifacts. Unfortunately, other than Backgammon being mentioned in some forum discussions, it is not available in that archive. On Mon, Jun 17, 2024 at 12:31 PM John R.

If someone can tell me exactly what to do to get this working on Dreamhost I am happy to do it. Barring that... if you're getting this message, always click the "Looks Safe" and whitelist the list. I don't think we're getting bounced so much as foldered :-) Maybe the AIs will eventually figure it out. -- John.
