Gmail's false positive du jour was: http://lists.landley.net/pipermail/toybox-landley.net/2018-February/009369.html
And once again it unsubscribed half the list. (Well, their subscriptions are suspended for a week due to excessive bounces because the list because gmail responds with 550, which mailmain treats as "retry", and after 10 bounces it disables the subscription for 7 days.) I think I'm just going to let it time out this time. And maybe add a FAQ entry that using gmail for list traffic is unreliable with a link in the web archive to every previous time I've complained about gmail and dreamhost fighting like this. (I'm pretty sure there's over a dozen of them by now. Manually cleaning up after this has old, and I don't have access to fix _either_ side of the server config issue...) Rob P.S. Remind me to repair the holes in the web archive. I got contact info to somebody at dreamhost tech support I can send the messages to, they're just split up over my outbox, my inbox, and the toybox folder because gmail _also_ refuses to send me another copy of messages it thinks I've already "seen", so I never get my own posts back through the list and when I'm cc'd the copy that goes to my inbox is usually delivered slightly first sothe copy with the list-id: tag that would go in the toybox folder is dropped. (So thread view in mailing list folders is basically useless if I participated in the conversation. Thanks gmail! This is why I lean on web archives so heavily, they filter out spam by blocking non-subscribers instead of washing it through gmail to leverage their huge live spam dataset. Clearly a double edged sword, but...) Meh, cut the release first. And get my blog caught up. And convert the tofaq.txt file into proper FAQ entries. _Then_ maybe worry about the mailing list... _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list Toybox@lists.landley.net http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
