So, I did search more after reading all my emails, and the answer is long but can be summarized by "yahoo and google suck, and we are in the middle". It seems that someone used a yahoo email to post on gluster-users. So far, so good, but Yahoo do have a specific DMARC policy that prevent sending email from yahoo from a non yahoo server. It also break mailling lists for provider who do respect DMARC policy: https://thehackernews.com/2014/04/yahoos-new-dmarc-policy-destroys-every.html And among the ones that do strongly verify DMARC (instead of using it as a indicator, since that's slightly less prone to breakage) is gmail, who just block at the smtp level mail if the dmarc policy say so. Usually, this is not a problem, since email just get dropped after a while. But this time, my hypothesis is that the person who did post did send enough to trigger a threshold in mailman to unsubscribe people (ie, more than 5 bounces). So all the gmail subscribers got removed. But we have logs, so I am gonna resubscribe everybody. From here, we have several solutions: - raise the bounce limit to 10. This doesn't fix the issue, but should minimize it for the time being - make sure people who use yahoo email can't subscribe. If their email provider break the list and can't work, we can't do much - get someone fix gmail.com to be smarter about dmarc. There is likely a lot more people impacted than us by this problem, and that's not the first time Gmail is just doing crap stuff in the name of "spam prevention". - fix mailman to be smarter regarding bounces. While 5 rejection is indeed sign something is wrong, lots of regular email have been sent in the mean time, so maybe there is something to do here. Maybe we were just unlucky. -- Michael Scherer Sysadmin, Community Infrastructure and Platform, OSAS
