Not directly related, but gmail has been putting MANY more false positives in the spam folder. I used to get 1-3 per week. Now false positives are closer to 60 a day. And MOST (about 80%) of them have the X-Microsoft headers. On the first day 99% had the text portion ONLY base64 encoded, not text/plain alternate. Only 1 was DANE related. It may be people are tweaking with headers. And I think many are tweaking their filtering rules to adjust to the changing spam. It used to be that 100% of the email I got with ONLY base64 encoded text, was spam at it attempted to bypass filters. I am guessing that gmail had noticed a similar trend and may be filtering those as spam. And why does Microsoft need about 60 X-Microsoft headers per email? Maybe it is time for the IETF to deprecate X- headers. -- Doug Royer - (http://DougRoyer.US) douglas.ro...@gmail.com 714-989-6135 _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
