Who are you? I don't see it in the "from". I suppose you are Dave.

Is anybody else seeing problems with mail from this list recently?
In particular some mails are being delivered to me from opensuse but without the [opensuse-support] tag in the subject line. For example the first mail in the 'video driver s/w' thread, but not the second, nor the third from the same author as the first. The complete thread is at:
Yes, we commented about this several days ago.

Hi Carlos
Thanks for the reply. I don't subscribe to the project list so I haven't seen any of this before. I had a quick look at your links but I haven't found any explanation of the problem I'm seeing.
The "problem" is caused by an intentional but forced change, and those links explain why it had to be done. The problem is that there are people whose mail *server or ISP* use signed headers/body (DKIM/DMARC). If the subject is changed to add the [thing], those mails are flagged as "modified" or false, and deleted or rejected by other mail servers. Thus those people can not email to any mail list. It happens, for instance, to people on suse.com, so the heroes team was forced to do the migration to mailman3 much faster than planned, and eliminate the subject [thing].
Can you describe it in words of one syllable and what is being done about it?
The only thing that could be done is replace the "From" header to send all mail list From "list server" instead. And that is what I think it is being done now. You mail came from: oS-sprt <support@lists.opensuse.org> But remains to modify it to say "on behalf of Dave Howorth". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
