Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo Tinderboxes?

[Gregory Rudolph]

I would also offer up some computing power for that, on VMs, or physical
hardware with different configurations. I'd like to be more involved
with the Gentoo Development community, but time is rarely ever on my side.


Best wishes, gentoo's not dead,

Re: [gentoo-user] Bounced messages

A lot of the time, even with SPF, DKIM etc your messages will be marked
as spam if you have a PGP signature, PDF file, or anything else and are
sending from an unusual domain (ie not gmail/microsoft hosted domain).
My messages do it all the time.
