-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hiya,
For the last 2 years I have been archiving structurally all my gentoo-user mails I have received into MySQL. In the last few months I have noticed that I have been receiving more and more broken threads (In-Reply-To and References), indicating missing mails from those threads. At present I use gmail to receive the mail which is then downloaded via fetchmail to my imap server. Recently I added the gmane.linux.gentoo.user newsgroup to my thunderbird to make some comparisons between that I am receiving and what they are receiving. To my surprise I am missing between 1 and 4 messages per thread (of more than let's say 10 messages). It is not a threading problem, and not a pop3 problem ~ I can confirm that what I have in gmail is what I have locally. To give some examples of totals in some larger threads over the last couple of days: Subject Local gmane "Kde menu" 11 12 "MythTV vs. Gentoo VDR" 9 10 "PORTAGE_ELOG error" 24 28 "strange [ file" 27 31 "can't install ati-drivers" 13 16 "How packages becomes stable?" 8 9 "Unable to mount root fs on uknown - block (0,0)" 14 17 I have confirmed that that I have locally is exactly what I have in gmail, so the problem is not local, and they are not caught anywhere in gmail's spam filters. What I am trying to work out if if it's just me having an issue with gmail (which I will confront the gmail team there about), or if the gentoo-user mailing server is skipping addresses or having issues sending. Tracing mail logs over a few days to check threads can be a painfully annoying job ;-) I am subscribed to other lists too which I seem to be having absolutely no problems with, although they are somewhat less active than the gentoo-user one. Are any of you (gmail or not) having the same problem? What is the correct way to go about locating and confronting this issue? Thanks for any advise.
