Arch General - is there a problem with posts
There have been no posts coming from the arch general mailing list for several months. Is there a problem with the server? -- mike c
Actually I am getting them. Could you please check your email list preferences? It might be disabled. https://www.ismailarilik.com 24 Ağu 2025 Paz 20:56 tarihinde Mike Cloaked <mike.cloaked@gmail.com> şunu yazdı:

Hi, almost all, if not all, well-known Internet service providers have started moving emails from mailing lists to the spam folder. The Internet service provider I use for my Internet connection recently started doing this. There are exceptions, such as accounts operated by social movements. Since everything the Internet offers is abused, social movements make it difficult to get an account if you are not involved. This is fair, as someone without a smartphone cannot get a new free account with relatively large providers such as Zoho. There will always be people who are excluded from participation; that's just how the world works. For example, I don't have a smartphone and don't want one. In short: if you use a free account from one of the relatively large providers such as Yahoo, Zoho, Foo, and Bar, almost all emails from mailing lists will most likely be moved to the spam folder. The ISP I pay for my internet connection, Alice/Telefonica/O2, has also started doing this. FWIW, I can't comment on gmail.com. Have you checked the spam folder of your gmail.com account via the browser interface or an app? YMMV! Ralf

After my suddenlink debacle, I've use gmail with the list for the past couple of years without issue. I do have a filter in Tbird move incoming Arch list mails to the Arch folder, so that may be saving it from spam -- but before the filter, they used to hit the inbox (but that was a couple years ago) -- David C.

Hi Ralf,
almost all, if not all, well-known Internet service providers have started moving emails from mailing lists to the spam folder.
The mailing lists where I have some administrator sight, nothing to do with Arch Linux, have seen Microsoft's mail services do this, e.g. Hotmail. It appeared to be triggered in the local case by Mailman2 not having anything to guard against bots triggering a ‘confirm your subscription’ email by shoving a valid address in the subscribe form. Thousands were sent out before it was noticed. -- Cheers, Ralph.
