I'll contact the laposte.net support to get all those relevant points improved. Where the spam policy hurts is: - mailing list is not the glitch. At least, not the only one. Mails sent directly are marked as spam, too. - I'm not the only one (by far) to be concerned by this issue. Something with DKIM is clearly failing. And DKIM is a both sides agreement. I'm blaming Google not only for not having this issue solved but also for not responding to users on their own forum about this exact same issue. There are public reports about that since 2013. - You say that individually marking mails as non-spam is unlikely to work. If I didn't have positive reports from users who tried, I would think the same. Anyway, I fully agree with you that it's not a satisfying way to solve this. And I'm blaming Google to not allow their users to decide what is good for them (e.g. configure whether they want or not DKIM tests for an address or a domain). "Unlikely to work" means not "really acceptable" in this case: they are missing the point. As I said, war against spam is hard. But IMHO, putting users in tricky/impossible situation is the worse thing to do. I know I'm strong, especially in my blog post, so I understand this might hurt some people. But I'm sure you're well aware about Google's marketing. They pretend solving real life problems with great tools and engineering superiority, isn't it? ,-p -- Nicolas Sebrecht _______________________________________________ OfflineIMAP-project mailing list: [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/offlineimap-project OfflineIMAP homepages: - https://github.com/OfflineIMAP - http://offlineimap.org
