====================================================

Your message couldn't be delivered

====================================================
I wanted to unsubscribe from opensuse-users@lists.opensuse.org, sent a mail to the -leave address and when I then wanted to confirm (via an empty response to the mail coming back from mailman), got the following from postmaster@suse.com:

==== snip ====
The message you sent to
users-confirm+cb36d4e719f30166a3c410a008f7025793edf289@lists.opensuse.org
couldn't be delivered due to: Recipient email server rejected the message.

Further Information

5.7.1 Spam identified (8.0/5.0)
==== snip ====

The service suse.com uses being Mimecast it did not include more useful information, such as the name of the actual server it talked to or anything. It appears that was on the opensuse.org side, though?

Sorry, no idea what lead to this strange formatting (and including things I had deleted). Please start reading the description at "I wanted to".

You're right, it was our spamassassin that identified your email as spam - mostly due to empty body and empty subject. It looks like the whitelisting did not take.

After updating our whitelist rule, I resent your confirmation as a test, seems to have worked.
