I never get messages from Jonesy. They never even reach my Gmail spam folder, let alone my KMail spam folder. In a few weeks, the "ezmlm program" will threaten to unsubscribe me because I am sending bouncing messages and will quote a message from Jonesy that I neither sent nor can find in any of my spam folders.
"Jonesy" obviously does exist and send messages: Dave has had one.
Is Gmail bouncing him? Or what is happening? Why? What can I do about it?
Jonesy's are being treated as spam:
host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.70.26] said: 550-5.7.1 [108.166.152.50 12] Our system has detected that this message is 550-5.7.1 likely unsolicited mail. To reduce the amount of spam sent to Gmail, 550-5.7.1 this message has been blocked. Please visit 550-5.7.1 http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=188131 for 550 5.7.1 more information. x11si3845963icl.64 - gsmtp (in reply to end of DATA command)
However, they're not showing up in the Web-based spam folder GMail provides. I have no idea why his emails are being singled out (because sending domain info in the header calls out three separate domains, maybe?)
Emails from other apparently-legitimate sources are being rejected on "security" grounds:
host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.202.27] said: 550-5.7.1 Unauthenticated email from yahoo.com is not accepted due to domain's 550-5.7.1 DMARC policy.

However much I try to ignore them, I find the wording of the we-are-going-to-unsubscribe-you messages worrying and upsetting. (Debian's rare "threats" are much kinder, nicer and less worrying. I don't get them from anyone else.) So I would like to solve this. As far as I can see, if Jonesy sends two messages in fairly quick succession, I shall be unsubscribed without notification.
The possible solutions that occur to me are three:
1. Whack GMail over the collective head with a blunt instrument until it behaves itself (good luck on that) 2. Have the list mailer check for key phrases in bounce messages and ignore them if they're found 3. Increase the list mailer's bounce tolerance to 5-10 messages, and have affected users use a filter to auto-trash the messages unread.
I'm pretty sure I've been unsubscribed without noticing (because I do auto-trash the "threat messages") at least once--that would have been around April 1 of last year.
