gmail irritates me to no end. Along with a lot of other spam filters who fail to check a domains email reputation stopping once they see a dynamic IP. As best I can tell, all I did on that link was cut and paste that change to apply to my version of beta3. I did try to reply to a message from weewx-devel, but it bounced due to missing PTR record on my IPv6, so I finally fixed that. I also added an attachment via the weewx-devel conversation but that doesn't appear to be the cause. No more ranting. Sorry.
