[Linux-aus] PSA: Messages sent through LA mailing lists being classified as SPAM

[Rob Thomas]

Your email made me had a look through my spam in gmail, and there appears
to be a large number that was marked as spam by Google too. The firs one I
found was from Andrew Bartlett, and was bounced because of SPF errors:

Looking at the headers, it looks like it's confused with multiple SPF
passes.  This is probably not something LA can fix, but at a guess smxemail
may be using google somehow to do their spam filtering?

Anyway, dump of the (incorrectly-marked-as-spam) header below.
