would have prevented this small issue.


No sane system rejects email based on the lack of a SPF policy.

If the domain had a policy ending in "-all" and the spam wasn't coming 
from a source allowed by the policy then it should be marked as failing, 
held for moderator review, or rejected.

it should be noted that it has been flowing all weekend, and nobody

complained or even commented on it until this morning.

so, yeah, maybe the list is on auto-pilot, which is totally 
understandable.


however, all the members seemed to be on auto-pilot as well.

Complaining was happening. Check the timestamp of the email you replied 
to as well as the archives: 
https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2015-October/. The outbound 
mail queue was full of spam so the complaints were delivered late

But when you're seeing the same session being used from two wildly

iOS 9 has a new feature called "Wi-Fi Assist" that will "automatically 
use cellular data when Wi-Fi connectivity is poor".


This will most likely cause those pesky IP checks to fail (even if you 
use a /24 or AS check). Geolocation checks will also fail in some cases.


My geolocation when connected to WiFi and when using cellular data are 
widely different. WiFi reports the city I'm in while cellular reports 
the city that their HQ is in.

What's worked for me is not signing or renewing or buying things that

While you're demanding better technology you may also want to include
things like crypto in there. I've gotten proposals for things that
support IPv6 but only work with SSLv2/SSLv3 with a weak cipher and
with MD5 or SHA1 only. I've even had ones that didn't implement
certificate verification at all or say they did but then it turned out 
not to work at all.


Disgusting and unacceptable. (But they did support IPv6!)

Everyone:

Honestly.. the best method is to not let it bug you anymore. It's only a 
seething issue to you because you let it be.


You're suggesting that one use 15 blank lines just so that you don't 
have to see any of these self-inflicted transgressions. It would be much 
simpler and less taxing on all involved to simply not let it bother you 
anymore.


"Impossible!" you may cry.. but I don't believe so. I used to be the 
same. It's easily beatable. You could send twenty paragraphs of 
so-called 'legal text' suffixed to your email and I wouldn't so much as 
bat an eye. It may take some personal effort but you need to learn to 
'let it go'.


This is a non-issue in the scope of things and you've made a mountain 
out of this grain of sand. Brush it aside and move on. It isn't worth 
your time.
