[Rhodes22-list] Problems with the gmail spam filter

[John Lock]

Hank,

There is no official e-mail header called "Mailed by:".  Google is 
gleaning that information out of the actual e-mail headers and 
presenting it that way to make it easier to understand.  Their advice 
is to contact the sender to "authenticate" their message.  Not 
exactly sure what they mean by this.

But it's problematic for most mailing lists.  The central problem is 
that list mail does not really come from the originator.  It comes 
from the list server.  So, by Google's definition, ALL mail coming 
from list servers could be considered spam because the originator and 
actual sender will never match.

One thing might be worth a try is to add 
"rhodes22-list-bounces at rhodes22.org" to your Google Contacts.  That's 
the internal sender address that the list server uses and it might be 
enough to get Google to leave list mail alone.

Cheers!
John
