Effective 2025-12-05 09:30 EDT all linux-mm subscribers with @gmail.com
email addresses have been unsubscribed. With many more single subscriber
delivery attempts now bouncing legitimate mailing list messages, the
overhead of scanning bounces for actual problems just isn't worth it
anymore.
For years the number of bounces caused by @gmail.com email addresses has
been excessive. Due to the random nature of the bounces (the same email
is delivered fine to hundreds of subscribers but then bounces for several
dozen) means that delivery of messages to gmail is basically a roll of the
dice.
Sadly, it is impossible to reach any humans that can help with this issue
as the "platform" gmail is run on makes it impossible to reach humans that
can help fix the issue.
At this point in time I believe it is better to admit outright that
mailing list messages cannot be delivered to @gmail.com subscribers than
to pretend that those emails get delivered reliably.
Hopefully action this will result in some kind of acknowledgement of the
issue by one of the world's largest email providers.
