Every receiver of email decides the policies under which it will accept it, or indeed, whether it will accept an offered piece at all. Anti-spam defense systems are the most common reason offered The owners of the Office 365 product, and those of Gmail have (probably) decided that the content from the list 'looks spammy' ... their choice, and that decision is applied on behalf of their subscribers. Also, to avoid 'educating' senders of unsolicited email how to evade such restrictions, the criteria shift without notice and may get tighter or looser, depending on the whim of the email receiver that day The alternative approach is for a email receiver is to simply 'mark' such as with a spam-assassin score, their opinion as to how 'spammy' something is, and permit the mail user client to decide what to do with it I run under that latter system, and I see this as to your question piece: Return-Path: <owner-scientific-linux-us...@listserv.fnal.gov> X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.2-r929478 (2010-03-31) on (elided) X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-0.8 required=4.0 tests=BAYES_00, DKIM_ADSP_CUSTOM_MED, DKIM_SIGNED,FREEMAIL_FROM, T_DKIM_INVALID autolearn=no version=3.3.2-r929478 The theory is that an unhappy subscriber will complain, or go elsewhere These questions should properly be directed to your email handling firm (here: Microsoft or Google) -- Russ herrold
