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. Gregory 'Rudi'

Spam filters are pathetic, they rarely catch spam.  Mine actually marks my own post to this list as spam and puts them in the spam folder, along with other messages sporadically.  If you want to stop spam use a "black list" of open relays, that works.  It also helps if you aggressively report

I then tried to repeat this process, to see if I could get libcap installed and so get further with virtualbox, but for some reason, my other computer - although it also has virtualbox installed, has libcap-2.24*-r2*.ebuild instead of libcap-2.24.ebuild and worse, a libcap-2.*25*.tar.xz !!!

I moved the virtualbox-6* ebuilds out of that directory and was able to regenerate the Manifest! The ebuild file merge worked quite well ... unfortunately, I ended up here: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.4.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find /lib64/libcap.so.2 Apparently

That's odd. I have 6.0.12 installed, so EAPI 7 should not be a problem. Note EAPI is applied per ebuild, not a system-wide thing. What version of portage are you using? On 2019.11.05 16:22, n952162 wrote: I found the ebuild /file/ manifest command ... but got this:

fsck effectively discarded many of my virtualbox libraries but I still have the ebuild and tarballs and everything.  But I don't see anything about repair in the emerge manpage.
