Michael, the two sample accounts you sent privately had no safesenders at all. We have some tech that rescues junk senders that are frequently read, and junks inboxed senders that get no reads etc. this will make panel users differ from the larger population if for example the panel automation is reading all mails in junk or it deletes without opening all the inbox. (I expect other “receivers” have similar user behavior systems or heuristics so worth sharing this info on this mailing list. )
Years ago we had some simplistic implicit safesender and blocksender lists, but those are dynamic now part of the filter I described. I don’t exclude the possibility of a bug but please send some sample headers to investigate. Plus we’ve dumbed down in the area of headers and we’re now showing all the inner workings so you can check wl: and abwl: in message delivery if it hit whitelist or address book. On the other suggestion of skipping filtering for blocked sender mail. That makes sense for ancient rule sets, but modern systems use filtering metadata to feed machine learning systems. It is wise to evaluate all mail to not introduce bias in the training data. > On Jun 13, 2018, at 4:11 PM, "mailop-requ...@mailop.org" > <mailop-requ...@mailop.org> wrote: > > Re: [mailop] Hotmail/msn/lutlook performing unsolicited > updates to users' safe- and blocked-sender lists? _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
