Hiya, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
For the last 2 years I have been archiving structurally all my |
| 7 |
gentoo-user mails I have received into MySQL. In the last few months I |
| 8 |
have noticed that I have been receiving more and more broken threads |
| 9 |
(In-Reply-To and References), indicating missing mails from those threads. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
At present I use gmail to receive the mail which is then downloaded via |
| 12 |
fetchmail to my imap server. Recently I added the |
| 13 |
gmane.linux.gentoo.user newsgroup to my thunderbird to make some |
| 14 |
comparisons between that I am receiving and what they are receiving. To |
| 15 |
my surprise I am missing between 1 and 4 messages per thread (of more |
| 16 |
than let's say 10 messages). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
It is not a threading problem, and not a pop3 problem ~ I can confirm |
| 19 |
that what I have in gmail is what I have locally. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
To give some examples of totals in some larger threads over the last |
| 22 |
couple of days: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Subject Local gmane |
| 25 |
"Kde menu" 11 12 |
| 26 |
"MythTV vs. Gentoo VDR" 9 10 |
| 27 |
"PORTAGE_ELOG error" 24 28 |
| 28 |
"strange [ file" 27 31 |
| 29 |
"can't install ati-drivers" 13 16 |
| 30 |
"How packages becomes stable?" 8 9 |
| 31 |
"Unable to mount root fs on uknown - block (0,0)" 14 17 |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I have confirmed that that I have locally is exactly what I have in |
| 34 |
gmail, so the problem is not local, and they are not caught anywhere in |
| 35 |
gmail's spam filters. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
What I am trying to work out if if it's just me having an issue with |
| 38 |
gmail (which I will confront the gmail team there about), or if the |
| 39 |
gentoo-user mailing server is skipping addresses or having issues |
| 40 |
sending. Tracing mail logs over a few days to check threads can be a |
| 41 |
painfully annoying job ;-) |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I am subscribed to other lists too which I seem to be having absolutely |
| 44 |
no problems with, although they are somewhat less active than the |
| 45 |
gentoo-user one. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Are any of you (gmail or not) having the same problem? What is the |
| 48 |
correct way to go about locating and confronting this issue? |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Thanks for any advise. |
| 51 |
Ralph |
