Are you spam?
I monitor several Linux forums and have noticed that Debian mail far
outnumbers the mail on other Linux forums.
I also notice that, percentagewise, more Debian mail is blocked by my
ISP's SPAM blocker (Postini)
than any other and if does get through, some of it appears as general
mail instead of in the Debian mailbox.
I'm sure that if this happening to me, it must be happening to others..
I believe that the reason is the way the mail is addressed.....The
problem arises when multiple addresses are used.
If the mail has multiple addressees with debian-user@lists.debian.org
being a 2nd or 3rd CC instead of To or the
first CC, this may cause the mail to not fit the profile that an ISP's
SPAM blocker uses to determine if a message is
to be allowed to pass.
If an ISP doesn't use a SPAM blocker service, the message passes but
then a filter that directs the mail to a Debian
mailbox may instead treat it as general mail, depending on how the
filter is profiled.for Debian mail.
What's wrong with addressing debian-user@lists.debian.org with To
instead of burying it in a multitude of CCs?
It can make a difference to some recipients. who have SPAM blocking
service or profiled mail filters.
