This is a bug, since they are clearly not spam.

The lists have been dropping my mail, with no indication that it was happening. This is a recent development, as I had been posting in this manner for quite a long time. Mailing lists are the backbone of Debian communication; the lists dropping legitimate messages (especially without notification) is an extremely serious problem. > Your Spamassassinscore for all 9 messages i found is 4.6, which sums > up from > > 4.4 HELO_DYNAMIC_IPADDR > 2.0 RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL These rules are incorrect. It's ordinary and valid to send mail directly from a "dynamic" IP address, and unacceptable to demand that people use a third-party relay, reducing the reliability of their mail by introducing extra points of failure. My IP address hasn't changed in over a year, and this demand is an attempt to make my server a second-class citizen due to overgeneralization. -- Glenn Maynard
