But there is no "PWN" in the subject line? In general, the PWN posts trigger a lot of typical spam filter rules. But I*m pretty sure the subject isn't one of them... For example, the number of links, the link-to-text ratio, the large amounts of repeat, etc. The best recommendation for people with delivery issues is to update their subscription to pgsql-announce to not include PWN, and then read PWN on the website or through RSS. It has gotten a *lot* better with the new posting system, where it is now properly DKIMed and things like that, but it's still by far the largest source of spam-bounces we have. And I don't really think there is any further ways around that, while maintaining it the way it is. Some systems will keep learning more over time though, and hopefully they will learn to stop flagging it. -- Magnus Hagander Me: https://www.hagander.net/ Work: https://www.redpill-linpro.com/

If there's some ritual I can do on my end that might help with this, I'm happy to do it.

One thing could be to stop linking to the individual commits, and instead just have one link to the gitweb page. that would reduce the number of links quite a bit, and that's a high-scoring trigger. And also in that not reproducing the direct links to the list discussions, instead having people go through the gitweb itnerface for it. I think reducing those links would probably help with at least those sets of triggers. -- Magnus Hagander Me: https://www.hagander.net/ Work: https://www.redpill-linpro.com/
