[gentoo-user] Is the mailing list working?

[Dale]

Hi folks,

I checked gentoo.org and even a quick search on the forums but didn't 
see anything about a massive boo boo.  Just trying to see what is up here.

Pardon the noise but could someone reply to let me know it's still 
working?  Last message I got was on the 22 of last month.

Thanks

Dale

Hi Dale, I was wondering where you'd got to.

List has been working just fine. Problem must be on your end.

In fact, gmail recognizes it as a mailing-list (even offering special
commands, like filtering email from the list). I never got any list
message marked as spam in Gmail. Thunderbird did it, a lot, like many
clients and webmails I tried.

Wow, can you be even more of an ass?  He was pointing out how unlikely it
was that gmail was filtering the mailing list as spam; he wasn't whipping
out his dick like some elitist asshole ready to gloat about features of his
e-mail client.  Not like you.

That said, I've had a problem every now and then where gmail would tag an
e-mail from a mailing list as spam, but it's never happened with
gentoo-user; just was a wordpress-hackers mailing list e-mail, and only a
few.

Very occasionally, posts from Linux Enthusiasts Association Durban 
(LEAD) and Gauteng Linux User Group (GLUG) are tagged by gmail as spam. 
The biggie though is wine-user, when I was still subscribed I'd find 
about 2 or 3 posts a week tagged as spam. I never found anything in 
those posts that could be interpreted as spam. Maybe it's something in 
the headers, GLUG's headers are ... em ... unusual.

gentoo-user always gets through 100% for me though.

I have noticed in my server logs that the gentoo mail server has  
started using TLSv1 connections for delivery, although I don't know if  
there are any other behaviours that might be causing undelivery for you.

[gentoo-user] Is the mailing list working?

[Dale]

Hi folks,

Keep in mind that I am having to look at the archives to see your 
posts.  I also can't "reply" the normal way either. 

I'm not using Gmail, I'm using a bellsouth address.  I also noticed that 
when I go to the webmail address for my email, it switches to att.net 
now.  I think AT&T is in the process of switching stuff over or 
something.  For those not in the USA, AT&T bought Bell South a year or 
so ago.

I sent a email to the webmaster.  I was hoping they may have some idea.  
Maybe something got changed on their end but I'm sort of thinking it is 
AT&T now.  No response yet tho. 

Is there a web way to unsubscribe/subscribe?  I tried to unsubscribe 
then subscribe again but nothing happened then either.

Also to make sure, I checked again on my ISP's website, spam filtering 
is disabled.  I do my filtering locally here. 

Also, could you guys reply by doing a CC to my address?  I did get a 
couple replies that emailed me off list but still nothing directly from 
Gentoo mail servers.

I'm open to ideas here?  Could it even be something I updated here?  
Also, I must be subscribed since it lets me post correct?  If I wasn't, 
wouldn't it reject my emails that I send, like this one?  Basically, it 
knows who I am and allows me to post but nothing else.

Ideas??

Dale

Have you tried subscribing with the new address? There's no real need to
unsubscribe the old address if it is dumping the mail anyway, although it
would be polite to notify the list admin of this so he can remove it.

[gentoo-user] Is the mailing list working?

[Dale]

Hi again,

I have gotten a few replies off list about this issue and found out that 
I am not the only one having this problem.  It seems the AT&T family 
does not like TLSv1 messages or something.  I wrote AT&T a message and 
am waiting on a reply regarding this.  If someone here knows how to find 
out when exactly when they started using TLSv1 it would be great.  If 
they started on the 22nd, then this is very likely the problem.  Also 
keep in mind, I have not gotten anything about posts to the forums 
either.  Anything ending in gentoo.org has stopped.  Maybe Gentoo 
switched a little to soon for some providers??

Is there a way to reply with a web browser?  I can view the messages on 
the archives but can not figure out how to reply.  I'm trying not to 
clutter up the list here.  I'm starting a thread here on the forums.  
Maybe be easier and all.  
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-691543.html  Hope to see some email 
gurus there.  I need some help and so do at least one other person.

The sending MTA should not be using TLS unless the receiving system
advertises STARTTLS in response to the EHLO from the sending system. So
if AT&T do not support TLS, then they should not be advertising that
capability to incoming mails.

Personally, I just use a gmail account for all my mailing list needs.

I got fed up having to change my subscribed address every so often so 
started using my gmail account instead. You always know exactly how 
it's going to want authentication, you can read mail in a browser if 
you want, or pop it if you want, and best of all:

NO SPAM!

Yeah, now that you can do pop or imap, gmail is pretty convenient. With 
respect to spam - I've got 993 messages in my gmail "spam" folder... 
which I think is quite a lot, are you not being deluged in this way?

That's one possibility, but the two mails I cced to you have bounced back
with

<dalek1967@bellsouth.net>: host gateway-f1.isp.att.net[204.127.217.16]
refused to talk to me: 550-<my-ip-address> blocked by
    ldap:ou=rblmx,dc=bellsouth,dc=net 550 Blocked for abuse.

I'm not running an open relay or involved in any other kind of abuse, so
this would appear to be a problem at their end.

Well, Dale has requested such feed back (bounced mail headers) at
the forums [1]. I believe he reads the list via http archives, so he
should see your message and hopefully it'll be of help.

Neil, you'd better check if your IP address is not in some of the
popular public grey/black lists [2]. Sometimes it happens even if you
had nothing to do with abusing activities...false positives.

[gentoo-user] Is the mailing list working?

[Dale]

Hi,

I emailed this list quite a while ago about not getting emails from the 
list or any other Gentoo list.  I wrote the very VERY slow to respond 
AT&T crew about unblocking the emails.  This was on about May 16 or so. 
  Well, a little while ago I got my first set of emails.  Whoooooooo 
Ooooooooooo.  I have so missed getting my emails and keeping up with 
where Gentoo is going and what issues have cropped up with updates.

Now, I am just hoping to get this email back and confirm that all is 
working again.  Oh, filed a complaint with the FCC about not having DSL 
too.  Sort of putting a fire under AT&T.  ;-)  24K dial-up sucks, BIG 
time.  Picture downloading OOo, VERRRRRRRYYYYY 
ssssslllllloooooowwwwwllllllyyyyyy.  :-D

Glad to be back.

Yep, that was what they was telling me.  Sort of letting the FCC get the 
info from now on.  See what story they get.  They did install the DSL 
box  up the road tho.  They are doing something, just not sure what that 
something is exactly.

At least they got my emails coming in again.  LOL
