[OSList] OSList bounces

[Koos de Heer via OSList]

Hi Harold,

Thank you so much for all the work you are putting into this. In my inbox, the mail you sent was listed as coming from "Harold Shinsato via OSList" which I think is by all means acceptable.

> But Raffi emailed the list again today. Another festival of bounces in my inbox. This time, the google/gmail accounts seemed to be ok. But many Yahoo, MSN, Sympatico, Comcast and other accounts bounced Raffi's email - and the OSList disabled their accounts. Again, one by one, I re-enabled them today. If you see this email - no action needed.

> Apparently this is not an easy thing to fix. More gory details. http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/DMARC. For now - I have changed Raffi's account so I have to moderate anything he sends. I'm trying another experiment where the From field is changed - so this note doesn't say From Harold in your email program. I don't think this is acceptable - but I'm testing it.
