I can see patches arriving in my INBOX via qemu-devel from [email protected] but no patches from [email protected] I do see some (non-patch) emails from [email protected], but the mailing list is re-writing this From address for DMARC countermeasures Salil Mehta via <[email protected]> Recapping mail delivery policies, DMARC requires a pass for *either* SPF or DKIM checks. SPF checks will always fail for mails forwarded via any mailing list. DKIM checks should still succeed *provided* the mailing list does not modify the message content, or certain headers. QEMU mailing list behaves in this respect generally, and applies countermeasures when appropriate. I see no DKIM records huawei.com, but I do see SPF records. This guarantees DMARC fail for any @huawei.com sender using any mailing list, however, the @huawei.com DMARC policy is only set to 'quarantine'. That should not block delivery to list subscribers, merely suggest that MTAs put the mails in the Spam/Junk folder *if* DMARC fails. mailam is cautious and thus applying DMARC countermeasures to huawei.com addresses due to he missing DKIM records, in order to reduce the chance that the mails end up in Spam/Junk folders for list subscribers. This does not explain why messages might never appear in the list to begin with though. It is notable, however, that messages from [email protected] do arrive if they are non-patch mails. Presumably those are via a normal email client I wonder how Salil is sending patches ? Some tool like git send-email or git-publish ? If so I then wonder if the tool is NOT correctly configured to use an official huawei.com outbound SMTP relay ? While you can have git send-email deliver directly to lists.nongnu.org, the huawei.com SPF policy will almost certainly result in the mails getting either rejected or dropped, *UNLESS* they are relayed via one of the officially designated huawei.com SMTP relays. > For example, the attached .eml file is a message from Vishnu (Ampere) which > was sent to the list but later disappeared.

In terms of mails from Vishnu, I see nothing in my INBOX from Vishnu. The mail quoted below has a From address of [email protected], while people seem to sending to/cc for [email protected] Is that From address correct ? It seems like the latter is more likely to be the canonical address for Ampere accounts. If not, perhaps that is triggering some rule that discards the mails when sending is amperemail.onmicrosoft.com > From: Vishnu Pajjuri <[email protected]> > Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 13:58:59 +0530 > To: Igor Mammedov <[email protected]>, [email protected] > Cc: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], > [email protected], [email protected] > Subject: Re: [PATCH RFC V6 00/24] Support of Virtual CPU Hotplug-like Feature > for ARMv8+ Arch > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > In-Reply-To: <20251006160027.20067fe4@fedora> With regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|
