Description

Hello,

I would like to understand why all my attempts to write to the ML mentioned
above are being denied.

Also, I would like to understand why denials don't report to users the
reason behind a denial occurred.

I have tried to get in touch with opensuse-doc+owner, to no avail.

Would you kindly help me understand and fix the issue(s)?

Best regards,

Adrien

Hi Adrien

as I already replied to you yesterday, your emails are being rejected due to HTML content which "opensuse-doc" does not permit. Simply repost in plaintext format and it will go through.
The denied posts don't report the reason because it is a simple rule doing the checking, and mlmmj does not support adding an explanation.

Dear pjessen,

Thanks for you reply. I haven't received any reply from you before the
one quoted below. Also https://progress.opensuse.org/users/684 does not
list other reply before that either. Can you please double-check and
alleviate the worry that my client might be unreliable?

You say that html strings are not allowed on mailing lists. But
consider https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-doc/2020-09/msg00007.html,
the email I was trying to reply to. There's a html strings right
there:
https://en.opensuse.org/Talk:Documentation:Meetings#Brainstorming. Yet
the email went through. Quite surprising, isn't it?

Also, I find it not very user friendly not to notify users against html
strings -- assuming this is the root cause of denials. It should be
possible to enumerate the probable causes of denials in the denial
email, thus giving users a clue, shouldn't it? As for notifying users
about the actual cause, it might be easy to implement. Could you
possibly point me to the repository from which the mailing service is
built?

Take care,

Adrien

I sent it yesterday at 10:37 CET, with subject "Re: Meeting 1 moving on to 2", to your gmail address.

You wrote to the list-owner, which is currently me, and I replied by email, hence it was not recorded under progress.o.o

You say that html strings are not allowed on mailing lists. But
consider https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-doc/2020-09/msg00007.html,

https://en.opensuse.org/Talk:Documentation:Meetings#Brainstorming. Yet

No, not at all. The above is not HTML, it is merely a URL. The message itself was in plaintext.

Also, I find it not very user friendly not to notify users against html
strings -- assuming this is the root cause of denials. It should be
possible to enumerate the probable causes of denials in the denial
email, thus giving users a clue, shouldn't it?

Agree, it should - but that is outside our control. We would need such a feature implemented in mlmmj.

As for notifying users about the actual cause, it might be easy to implement. Could you
possibly point me to the repository from which the mailing service is built?

http://mlmmj.org is probably the best place to start. There is also a mailing list, and a mercurial/git repository.
