[Digikam-users] OT: mail filter, was Re: best practice person tag hierarchy

[Benjamin Girault]

Hi,

This sounds like a DKIP / DMARC issue. DKIP / DMARC is a server side mecanism 
to verify that the server sending the email is the right one, and policies to 
follow in case this server checking fails. The first problem could be the 
email signing in DKIP that is broken for yahoo or gmail, but I doubt it.

The other possible problem could be that since we are here on a mailing list, 
the mails are forwarded by the ML server. The problem then is that the same 
sending address (here <user>@yahoo.com) is used by the ML server but sent from 
kde.org instead of the yahoo.com domain, such that the DKIP check fails. The 
policy given by Yahoo is to reject such emails (i.e. mark them as spam) [1].

I guess a simple test would be for Boudewijn to send an email directly to 
Marie-Noëlle. If that goes through, then it is the ML / DKIP / DMARC problem 
and there is not much you can do. Otherwise, I don't know.

Best,
