Hi all, I've been trying to post a bug report to the linux-usb mailing list but keep getting trapped in the filters despite ensuring I'm using plaintext. Heres what I get in the bounce back:

The mail system

<linux-usb@vger.kernel.org>: host vger.kernel.org[209.132.180.67] said: 550 5.7.1 Content-Policy accept-into-freezer-1 msg: Bayes Statistical Bogofilter considers this message SPAM. BF:<S 1> In case you disagree, send the ENTIRE message plus this error message to <postmaster@vger.kernel.org> ;

I've sent the message to the postmaster but haven't heard anything. My message got through to the maintainer, who has requested I fix my message and get it on the mailing list proper but nothing I've tried is working.

Heres part of the header from the source of my most recent message:

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Any suggestions? Thanks

What email client did you use to send in your patch?

I used thuderbird to post to the list. My issue seemed to be not having the usb: dwc2: tags in the subject line, and my subject being too long. Both apparently heavily weight the filter towards treating the message as spam. I also removed anything in the debug information that resembled a url or email address, which didn't help immediately but might have helped weight it towards not spam after I did the above things. It might be a good idea to have a list of suggestions like these on the wiki.

You will find kernel documentation [1] on preferred email clients and formats of interest. Among other things, the advise on the format of email messages is: Don't send patches with ``format=flowed``. This can cause unexpected and unwanted line breaks. My personal preference is the use of 'git send-email'. I've also found mutt to be compliant with the guidelines laid out in the reference doc. Hope this helps.
