Hiya Gents and gentle Ladies. I did have to rebuild this list when my hosting provider deleted my VPS. I do believe I explicitly changed the "From" behavior to thwart email collectors, but can change it back (if by popular demand). 😊

Oh, I agree. This list has been maintained in working order for years,<br>
and that is quite commendable. Whether this input is taken or not, it's<br>
still an excellent service to the community.<br>
<br>
GRLUG doesn't have a published DMARC record, and we don't appear to have<br>
an SPF policy, either. Which means the only thing we've got is senders<br>
sending DKIM-signed messages, which unless they're re-signed by the<br>
listserv software (which it doesn't do, and I get an empty result<br>
querying for pubkeys, so it can't), are only valid if the From address<br>
*doesn't* get changed, provided they've signed the From header. So all<br>
in all, I suspect we'd actually *improve* our ability to get through<br>
filters if we reverted to the way it worked 3 months ago.<br>
