linux-scsi list filtering
Twice yesterday I tried to reply to the "spin down idle SATA disks" thread. The first was sent to the original poster and cc-ed to this list. When my reply didn't appear after 12 hours, I resent my reply directly to this list. Neither appeared on the linux-scsi list (at least not via my subscription or the marc.theaimsgroup.com archive).
Obviously the original poster received my mail as he has recently responded to the list. That tends to suggest that incoming mail is being filtered by the linux-scsi list.
Is anyone else experiencing this type of behaviour?

You really should ask this kind of questions from
<[email protected]>
as you can read at http://vger.kernel.org/
Possibly it is this one:
Subject: BOUNCE [email protected]:
global taboo header: /charset=.*windows-/i
That pattern bites on quite a lot of spams and viruses, but unfortunately also on some amount of legitimate list messages.
Reviewing past weeks worth of monitoring logs, it does appear that of 10-20 daily hits with that patterns there is always also some other pattern present when it genuinely is spam/virus/junk.
I will now remove that block, and we shall see, what leaks thru... (if any.)

I'm guessing this rule means to bounce the relevant email, i.e. to send an email to the originator saying it wasn't accepted.
If so, the rule and ones like it aren't behind the problems that have been described, wherein the mail just went into a black hole.
Do the filters drop mail without response?

I had this problem last week when replying to someone with a list of relevant URLs where one could find more information about a legitimate topic. After the message didn't appear on linux-scsi, I resent it without the URLs, but even the resend without URLs never made it. I'm not sure what blocked the second message, but later in the day I sent a message on a different topic that got through, using the same mailer settings.
