Testing Only - Ignore

Testing Only - Ignore

[Alison Schofield]

This mailing list is very small (since it's so new), and friendly,
so I'm spamming it with my private email test.

Not even sure this is a reasonable test.

Mail in which I am in the To: is not coming through to my Intel email.
For example, Bruno's last email I see when I browse w Lore, but I 
didn't get it in my @intel.com INBOX. 

It reminded me of something Stefano mentioned about mail getting
de-dup'd and then you wind up with nothing.

Anyway, pardon the noise while I figure this out.

I think what you saw might be caused by issues on my side. The last
two days I kept trying to fix the problem, but my mail provider is
having serious delivery issues. They use a SMTP re-routing service for
cases where delivery fails, but I have to request them case-by-case
after it happens. To don't risk fragmenting my patch submissions I
found an alternative SMTP service, but I failed to add it also to my
mail client, and that's likely the reason you didn't receive it.

If the e-mails get de-dup and my mail provider failed the delivery, my
best guess is that you won't receive it at all, since my post would be
the only one (my greatest fear in the last couple of days).

I hope it stops happening now!

That's, most likely, because Bruno's email had 162.254.200.130 as
originating IP address -- it was in Spamhaus' XBL list a couple of days
ago:
	https://www.spamhaus.org/query/ip/162.254.200.130

and you might have (as I had) a corporate "spam filter" querying
Spamhaus lists.

That doesn't mean that Bruno's machine had any reason to be in that
list. That's because of another host with that address in the past. Now
it has been de-listed.

On the other hand, smtp.subspace.kernel.org doesn't use those lists (in
my opinion very sensibly, but this is subject to debate), so it
actually went through the list.

That's just Gmail, judging from the delivery chain reported in
the headers of your emails, you should be safe. :)

I have some procmail machinery in place to undo that "feature". :(
