I hope you guys took care of the spam from Xotawa earlier today.
Also just as an FYI it looks like google is going to be changing their requirements for bulk-mail and mailing list senders effective February 2024.
They have a notice on their blog with the specific requirements in the support knowledgebase (linked from their blog post).
Also, randomly some of the responses from this mailing list are regularly hitting my spam folder. I count 3 from today, Ironically Xotawa was the only one that got through.
Mailing list maintainers, if you aren't already using their postmaster tools you should check out https://support.google.com/mail/answer/9981691
In our experience their postmaster tools, registration, etc etc do absolutely nothing. They're getting the point across loud and clear that they want our mail to data-mine too.
Their users are, for the most part, blissfully ignorant of this BS. All they know is "I get very little spam", while legitimate email gets ditched, and complaints fall on deaf ears. They have no motivation whatsoever to be a better player.
20+ years ago, us ISP network admins would sit around and daydream about what would happen if Google ever turned evil. Now we know.
