Hi everyone. We've been having increasing problems with GMail delivery recently, so one of the things we're trying in order to improve matters is to switch to reply munging, which means we're in control of DKIM/DMARC status rather than relying on every individual repliers' setup (and hoping we don't break signatures or violate SPF rules at the same time). This means that all mail through the list should now come from the list address. 20 years ago this was a regular and heated debate on mailing lists, but given the volume of traffic we don't expect it to be a problem. (That said: do please double check if you mean to reply to someone off-list that you aren't accidentally replying to the list instead.) I'll be resubscribing a number of gmail addresses that were removed automatically when gmail delayed all of them repeatedly. We're hoping that they will survive better now, but gmail prioritises various aspects of experience such that it isn't actually that good at receiving email from outside the mainstream operators. (I have a gmail account that simply doesn't receive emails from some companies - they don't even appear in spam.) If you rely on getting Xapian news in a timely fashion, I'd recommend either not using gmail or perhaps switching to digests. You can also check in on the web archives[1], which are public.
