I see that the Zip does go through to ooo-dev. Marvelous. Meanwhile, I omitted a key word. The locations described in the e-mail are *not* given in the form of URIs.

Hamilton [mailto:dennis.hamil...@acm.org] Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2012 10:32 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Cc: 'Shane Curcuru'; 'Dave Fisher' Subject: RE: Unconquerable Mail Delivery Failures Shane. Thank you. I have double-checked the message. There are no URIs in it. There are instructions related to file system locations, but those locations are given in the form of URIs. If that is the real cause of the rejections, there seems no way to overcome it. There is nothing that my mail reader would conclude needs to be highlighted as a link, for example. I carefully reviewed the message and sent it again. It bounced again. I have saved the latest bounce as text and enclosed it in a Zip. The Zip attachment won't go to these lists, but it should be enough for the direct recipients to confirm that the rejection appears to be bogus and not in my power to do anything about. This is clearly a message-specific bounce. Other mail from me to both ooo-users and ooo-dev passes muster. I am not interested in fixing the mail-filtering system. I just want to be able to communicate this information somehow. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Shane Curcuru [mailto:a...@shanecurcuru.org] Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2012 07:38 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Unconquerable Mail Delivery Failures Apache mail infrastructure uses Apache SpamAssassin for scanning all mail coming to our lists. You can at least see what might be tripping up your mail by searching for "SpamAssassin URIBL_BLACK" or similar. In particular, you hit these rules: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/Rules/URIBL_BLACK http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/Rules/URIBL_JP_SURBL These each mean that some URI in your message body (i.e. not your sender information) is on one of the blacklists above. Each rule has a certain weighting on the Apache mail servers, and if the total weight exceeds the threshold, the mail is rejected. - Shane On 2012-03-26 10:18 PM, Dennis E. Hamilton wrote: > Huh??
