I'm unsubscribing in protest of those changes.
I was hoping that this proposal would be objected by more active
community members, but as a mere lurker it is not worth it for me to
engage in lengthy discussions, if the people in charge decide to break
decodes-long established UX conventions on short notice for the sake of
"spam protection". As far as I see it these developments are mainly
driven by corporations who pursue the political goal of destroying
independent email infrastructure, and I would have hoped the OS
community to resist those developments instead of happily nodding along.
Best, Florian

We've changed the configuration of this mailing list to respect the
recomendations from the SysAdmin team:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC:Mailing_Lists#Configuring_the_mailing_list
Notable changes are:
1. No more [OSGeo-Discuss] prefix in email subjects
2. No more added footer
3. Real sender address in the From field
4. DKIM signed emails will not be considered maliciously tampered \o/
For filtering the emails or finding mailing list address to change
user preferences you will be able to use the email headers.
Many mail user agents should be able to figure this out by themselves,
others might need manual configuration.
Just as an example, my mail configuration for the PostGIS Developers
looks like this (procmail recipe):
:0
* ^List-ID:.*postgis-devel.lists.osgeo.org
* !^X-List-Administrivia: yes
.postgis-devel/
Happy mailing !
