I would have figured that by now email exploding server publishers have figured out kinks for best practices since managing things like bulletin boards in early nineties ... Most exploding servers don't rely too much on message headers to tell the truth as much as they do to envelope headers.
Anyways, when Derek mentioned forwarding messages I took it as like my email address resides with Yahoo, setup a rule on Yahoo to forward messages to Google, and I am retrieving messages from Google and possibly replying back to it via Google. I don’t do that either. But I have observed even in that case it also re-writes headers correctly so they do not get tagged as spam. Anyways it is time to move on to more important causes ... -----Original Message----- From: gnuc...@4forl1st5.slmail.me <gnuc...@4forl1st5.slmail.me> Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2025 7:23 PM To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Cc: Kalpesh Patel <kalpesh.pa...@usa.net>; 'Derek Atkins' <de...@ihtfp.com> Subject: Re: [GNC] [Possible phishing attempt] Re: mail server changes to GnuCash list On Thursday, February 20th, 2025 at 00:15, Kevin Buckley via gnucash-user <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> wrote: > > > > One way around this is to have the list server, or some intermediate > MTA, "munge" the From field into something like > > "Kalpesh Patel via GnuCash User List" gnucash-user@gnucash.org > > > along with adding your original email address into the headers (often > into the To header, because many list-servers will de-dupe outgoing > addresses to stop you getting a list copy as well) so that a > Reply-to-all will still go back to you, as well as the list. > > That appraoach can, of course, make the From field look "a bit messy" > but it does defeat this particular anti-phishing check. > > > > HTH (as well as hoping I have that, mostly, correct) and, funnily enough, my Reply-To-All email, back to the list, which I have just received a copy of, HAS been sent out so that it appears to come from Kevin Buckley via gnucash-user <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> so maybe it's only some "new to the list server" emails that don't have the munging applied, as they are exploded back out? _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
