Hi Ed,
As I understand it, your setup is:
GitHub/GitLab -> mail forwarder/redirector -> gmail
Have you tried NOT using a redirector? I suspect the mail redirection
is what is throwing GMail off.
As there is inherently nothing wrong with the GitLab mails (the
"provocative tail' is anything but), and you're seeing similar issues
from GitHub mails, this is well outside our jurisdiction.
GMail's own docs have nothing about a 'provocative tail' :
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/175365?hl=en
Regardless, again, this is outside the EFs reach and, in the end, only
seems to affect you.
Good luck with your setup,
Denis

Hi
Correction. Raising
https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/issues/1404
demonstrated that the provocative tail problem occurs on GitLab as
well as GitHub.
Raising issue 1404 demonstrated that GitLab is blacklisted for me at
GMail. GitHub is only a phishing hazard.

Hi
https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/issues/1404 raised.
On further investigation this is a Phishing rather than Spam problem.
It appears that the 'provocative tail' is outside the traditional
text protected by the mail signature and so the links within the tail
cause an inadequate Gmail phishing detector to fail. The same tail
embedded as regular message text a test Bugzilla notification is
checked without trouble by Gmail.
@Wayne: Yes, this is perhaps just a GitHub redirected to Gmail problem.
(Testing teeing my redirection to two emails revealed that there are
some legitimate senders (e.g. the nextdoor.co.uk local social media
site) that Gmail seems to blacklist without providing any Spam clues;
not a good email supplier.)

I looked through about a dozen messages sent from various
eclipse.org <http://eclipse.org> lists and found this in none of
them (but did find it in several examples of messages sent from
GitHub). The one example that you've presented is from GitHub.
If you have specific examples that come from eclipse.org
<http://eclipse.org>, please cite them in an issue and start a
conversation about sorting this out with the IT team.

Hi
Yes, the tails may be a red herring. It was just that the 'Spam'
messages I rescued were from Eclipse and they all had this tail,
which
despite the comment in
https://developers.google.com/gmail/markup/actions/declaring-actions
are not ignored by the Thunderbird email client. Surely the EF
should
ensure that EF messages do not contain what is clearly partial
SPAM?
Bugzilla was fine.
It appears that contrary to the 0.05% false positive rate
claimed for
the Gmail Spam filter, it was actually more like 50% for me
affecting
many senders. Truly abysmal. Any in a folder that requires a
couple of
scrolling actions to reveal.
