ok, so it just comes down to a matter of perception but we have agreement on what a 'driver' is (thanks, E. Liddel) and also that not everything is "out of the box" in Linux for some of us.
Thanks for the message, as I am glad to see that your address is not

marked as spam.
E. Liddel's messages *always* go to spam in my case as well as one or two others. no loss since I regularly check and haul them out but then they are not in sequence. my address hides the fact it is a gmail system. I should write a filter.

I noticed the same thing. Even though I have green lighted E. Liddel's messages, they still end up in spam. So I have to fish them out as well.
A friend at google says it happens because their filtering setups, are designed to favour paid adverts and spam tag nonpaying competitors. He guesses E. Liddel, must be similar enough to a nonpaying competitor to be filtered into spam.
Honestly I think they have it out for Liddel.
Cheers to all Kate
PS Whenever I see an email from Felmon, I always think Felonious Monk, and then think of the Monk series. Which only proves, I have a strange mind. No offense Felmon.

I had to look that one up. I was familiar with Thelonious Monk, guess you intend a pun. there is, as it happens, a Felonious Munk, who is some kind of comedian.
I like to believe that my name is some kind of 'corruption' of Philemon to whom St. Paul wrote a somewhat infamous letter.
but frankly, I don't know.

Not true! We must presume his innocence unless where we have no reason to believe otherwise. Besides, I have been thought suspicious myself on occasion, when I was guilty only of being a stranger in those parts.
Also, as I've pointed out before, the enigmatic Liddell (with two Ls, as in Alice-in-Wonderland Liddell, as in Liddell & Scott), might not be a "he" at all, as I've never noticed any clues about gender; indeed, our E.Liddell could be a Chesire cat with opposable thumbs. The E maybe stands for Euphonious, a good cat name; or perhaps is an allusion to the letter E at Delphi? https://www.loebclassics.com/view/plutarch-moralia_e_delphi/1936/pb_LCL306.1... http://penelope.uchicago.edu/misctracts/plutarchE.html

My own guess is that he might use the same address for something else besides our mailing list, or that his name or address is similar enough to an actual spammer, and gets him marked as spam because he got on some master list used by Google, Zoho and others. Or something like that.

Actually, I think that *Felmon* is probably a corruption of *fell* and *man*; or as we would say nowadays, you're the fall guy.
By the way, as long as we are waxing both poetic and silly, I'd like to point out that my alter-ego, Dr Contendo, was not meant to imply that I like to argue. (Since we seem to get into a lot of trivial disputes in this mailing list, I will offer the apologia that I actually have little taste for argument, except in the academic sense.)
I originally took it from Marlon Brando's line in *On the Waterfront*: "I coulda bin a contenduh!" And then, after a little research, I recalled that there are a host of other meanings in Latin, and most obscure of which is "I tune up [a musical instrument]" ... https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/contendo ... which suggested to me a famous incident told in one of the "lives" of the Buddha, the episode just before he goes off to meditate under the Tree and achieve his supreme awakening. There are also other meanings such as striving, pushing forward, etc., which sort of suggests the lines from Paul's Gospel, "I have fought the good fight, I have run the race."
In other words, I have almost got there, but not quite. Now, if we could just all get along here, this will eventually lead to World Peace ... or at least, peace in my own world.
Another few turns on the wheel, and my soul will be in tune at last.

what disappoints is that there should be enough clues that a spam filter would accept the name and address for this list.
really nicht onomatopoetry that follows but I won't include it all just this bit,

you are being too kind. 'fell' also means 'evil, deadly, cruel' as in 'one fell swoop', so watch out!

Yeah, I was also thinking of that meaning of *fell*. Good Anglo-Saxon word.

Alas, I have been found out! I'm actually an advanced android in the form of a cat, who was ditched in the street after the world conquest plans of the scientist who created me failed to pan out. And who needs opposable thumbs, anyway? Get the right kind of keyboard, and you can type with your tail. Unlike flesh-and-blood cats, I don't even need minions to open cans for me. ;)

This is a fairly old email account (from the gmail semi-closed beta days) that I use mostly for lists. I can think of several reasons why Google might be uncomfortable with it, but if I had to guess, they're just ticked off that I've figured out how to avoid seeing their ads even if logged in through the website (and I can't remember the last time I even did that). Or it's the DKIM thing again.
I should probably switch this list over to my non-gmail account, but I'm suffering from a chronic shortage of round tuits.

Definitely a male cat. Needs to be neutered.

The longer one has an email account, I think, the more spam it attracts, and the more likely it is to get put on somebody's list.

I am doing something wrong because I never see advertisements. I wouldn't see them in union.edu because that's part of 'Google Apps for Education' but using Firefox I don't see them in other accounts either. I feel a bit deprived, like my dollar ain't good enough.
Or it's the DKIM thing again.
emails from you have this header added by Google: "This message has a from address in googlemail.com but has failed googlemail.com's required tests for authentication."
I guess that's not saying much.
(hey, maybe it's because your email name (before @googlemail.com) looks like a Windows 'driver' (.dll)!)

Someone posited:

YES!! IT'S THE DKIM "THING" AGAIN. STOP GUESSING.
I have a Great ISP -- who does Fantastic spam filtering. The Trinity list emails all go into the Spam folder -- because of DKIM failure. https://www.google.com/search?q=dkim+spf
Or, they normally would... Except, I am able to insert _my_ email filters in ahead of any filtering by my ISP. And, thus I can direct these emails to a folder of my choosing in spite of the DKIM failures.
Now-a-days there are many, many ISP's that flat out reject incoming email traffic if the DKIM check fails. Other ISPs call it spam (which it is most often) and shunt it to the spam folder.
Calling it "Ham" in some ISPs may only solve the problem for a short time -- until that "up vote" ages off.
