Re: [boost] Testing DMARC spam binning

Thanks to all involved for the hard work. Definitely looking forward to no longer fishing for Niall's emails in my spam folder. On Thu, Feb 9, 2017 at 7:32 PM, Niall Douglas via Boost < boost@lists.boost.org> wrote:

Dear Boost,

You all probably noticed that boost-dev now sends you emails from "Your Name via Boost " with your original email listed as CC.

This should finally mean that DMARC protected email addresses are no longer flagged as Spam by many email services, including this email from me, as boost-dev is no longer sending email with a protected From: address.

The list should be made aware that fixing this has taken nine months or so for good reason. A whole ton of work went into making this happen, not least relocating Boost's mailing list services from wowbagger where it had been for almost forever to new hosting partially donated to us for free. What wasn't obvious here was that there were problems of ownership transfer, arranging service donation and the change over and getting many, many long seized up cogs to turn, ones indeed I have failed to turn in many years of trying myself. The fact it all happened without service interruption is an amazing achievement.

I'd like to ask the list to formally thank Michael Caisse and his team of many diligent workers who did all of this just to get mail posted here to not get flagged as Spam (there were other motivating factors too of course, but the Spam issue got the ball rolling). It was an awful lot of work for not a very obvious gain here on boost-dev. So thank you.

Niall
