Hm, mailing lists are actually "just" distribution groups with storage backing. No fancy needed actually. Of course, mailing list servers should not ever try to impersonate others by sending with the original senders mailing address. That would raise spf failures and dmark warnings (on domains con

Mailing lists operate by modifying emails and this invalidates emails' checksum & signature – this is what I tried to explain in detail in my first email. There are "workarounds" (see Mailman DMARC mitigations link I shared), but no one-size-fits-all solution. See the INFRA tickets I shared for suc

Yeah this sounds like what Volkan discovered in his research. The mailing list software is fucking up the metadata in such a way as to make it invalid in various spam checks (some of which silently drop malformed emails). It doesn’t help that said software is ancient and no longer developed. >

I would guess, if mail doesn't work it probably relates to spf, dkim or dmark. Your description matches exactly this: Some service providers gradually increase the rate of rejected mails that come from servers/domains refusing to implement spf and dkim or even fail spf/dkim checks. This can be see

What concerns me is that email appears to be unreliable where it shouldn't. Either it works always or it doesn't at all. I experience it to be 100% reliable. Short downtimes are OK and to be expected while systems are patched. But then email are delivered later. The technology is much like a postm
