See https://support.google.com/a/answer/174124?hl=en This is probably not specific to Mailman. There is lots of advice (such as the link I just found, but not just that) about how to set up DKIM and SPF, and it sounds like these might solve your problem. DMARC is also mentioned, but that is not ne

I have had a lot of experience with these things. Here are some observations. I have a list of 4000+ subscribers around the world. I have SPF and DKIM but not DMARC.

2021-11-16 Thread Jon Baron
On the general options page, there is a setting near the end called "Maximum number of members to show on one page of the Membership List". If you set it to more than the number of list members, you will get an list alphabetized by emails. (But you want "list names", and I'm not sure what that is.)

I'm pretty sure that this comes from Proofpoint's "URL Defense" system. (Google it.) But I don't understand what you mean by "hostile listname" being "correct". What comes before the __ is usually a URL, and there is also a __ BEFORE the url begins. If you use a graphical mail client (like gmail),

One thing to try: Add the following line to /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py REMOVE_DKIM_HEADERS = Yes I did it. It clearly does no harm. Whether it helps, I don't know. And "probably don't get" may sometimes mean "probably don't check my spam". I'm thinking about removing all the headers with formail,

There has been some relevant discussion of this issue before. I had similar problems and many others. At the moment things work, but Micorosft seems to be classifying 90% of the list mail as spam, and this will ultimately hurt its "reputation" and lead to trouble. My general advice is to look at
