I received this email today claiming to be sent from
. I did not send any messages to the list on 21-Apr-2014 as the message claims. The password given is not my password (although I x'd it out in case it might be someones). Has anyone else received messages like this?

This looks like a legit message, although I'm not sure why the data looks incorrect. Â The links also go to libsdl.org... ?

This is probably a legit email. It means Mailman tried to send you mailing list traffic on the 21st (and other dates), and pacbell.net bounced it for whatever reason. It's mail coming to you, not mail you sent. If your mail provider keeps bouncing traffic from the list, the mailing list manager takes you off the list, assuming the account is no longer viable. Often times this means your mailbox is overfull, etc, but it can also mean that pacbell.net (temporarily) had problems or (temporarily?) thought the mailing list traffic was spam. Also, very few people set up Mailman passwords, instead using the random default that Mailman generates (which is good, because the stupid things are stored unencrypted and mailed in plaintext to you once a month, stupid stupid stupid)...are you sure that wasn't really your password? --ryan. _______________________________________________ SDL mailing list http://lists.libsdl.org/listinfo.cgi/sdl-libsdl.org |

I've received messages like that too, more than once over the past month. And I'm on Yahoo Mail, and it receives SDL messages just fine. Not sure what the problem is, but I don't think it's on the receiving end.

On another issue relevant to the subject, I'm getting some, nothing special or suspicious [SDL List] mail filtered as spam, daily or weekly.

Me too, Gmail seems to put all messages from Mason Wheeler and Nathanial
J Fries in SPAM, even though I report them as "not spam" every time. The reason being: "Be careful with this message. Our systems couldn't verify that this message was really sent by yahoo.com. You might want to avoid clicking links or replying with personal information." (Yeah, both are using @yahoo.com addresses). I have no idea what makes google/Gmail think that the messages are not from yahoo.com. Cheers, Daniel Am 05.05.2014 15:52, schrieb Juan Manuel Borges Caño:

I found some more information on this, basically Yahoo is screwing up
and you shouldn't use Yahoo Mail to post to any mailing list: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg87153.html Cheers, Daniel Am 06.05.2014 01:19, schrieb Daniel Gibson:

Probably some random mailing protocol extension that Yahoo isn't reliably using, which itself could come from e.g. sending a response query back to Yahoo before something had been entered into a database. If it was happening with other mail services then I'd tend to suspect the list mailer of implementing redirection wrong. _______________________________________________ SDL mailing list http://lists.libsdl.org/listinfo.cgi/sdl-libsdl.org |

Just informing I've been receiving a few of these bounce notifications
on April and May. Not a lot of them, but they have arrived, nevertheless. In case anybody is wondering, I've sent just a couple of messages to the list during April 29th (none on May before this message). Furthermore, an outlook.com account is currently in use (this is really a part of the list account name, not hotmail.com or any other different domain). It is surely important to ensure the links in such a bounce notification are legitimate. As expected, though, if it is the case then you probably need to follow the instructions, since you probably won't get any SDL mailing list message otherwise (ignoring more such bounce notifications). _______________________________________________ SDL mailing list http://lists.libsdl.org/listinfo.cgi/sdl-libsdl.org |
