Yahoo Mail is notoriously hypersensitive, and, it's users can only declare specific senders (i.e. the "From:" address) or domains as 'safe' or 'approved.'
In this case, if the Yahoo Mail user declares "opensuse.org" as 'safe' or 'approved,' barring any other as yet undisclosed factors, this would most likely mitigate the problem.
But the problem is not just with Yahoo, and indeed it doesn't seem like Yahoo are doing anything wrong.
They are not, they are acting absolutely correct. It would be nice if they could whitelist our mailing list server though. (
But it seems extremely unreasonable for every 'absolutely correct' ISP in the world to have to list every legitimate mail server in the world, manually!
s/mail server/mailing list server/
Oops, sorry.
It is the easiest way out, unless the mailing list server implements SRS rewriting which will also solve the problem.
Well mailing list server implementing SRS rewriting seems like a much better solution. Order N instead of order NxM (where I expect M is much larger than N) for starters. Plus it's the mail list servers that are actually causing the problem, if you discount the existence of SPF as being the problem. I'm not sure I entirely understand the wikipedia article on SRS either. Does it imply that I would receive messages from the list with weird from addresses or is that addressed somehow? Most of the mailing lists I'm a member of show the originator's name as 'from'. Does that mean they don't use SRS or that something is munging what it displays to me? openSUSE is the only mail list where I get occasional bounce advices, which I've never understood up until now. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
