[Automated-testing] fraud check failure for list error

[Bryan Evenson]

Tim,

Our company uses Outlook as well, and I see the same warning when I receive one of my mailing list posts.  I don't know all the details, but I think it has something to do with the e-mail being sent "on behalf of" you.  The e-mail says it was sent by you, but the origin is the Yocto Project mailing list server and Outlook flags that as a potential problem.

If I got some of the details wrong, anyone who knows better feel free to correct me.  But the main point is that in this case it's just a warning that you can ignore.  You know you sent that e-mail, so hopefully you can trust yourself.

Bryan

SPF is not necessarily a good idea and has its complexities...

Your mail has this header set:

Received-SPF: SoftFail (protection.outlook.com: domain of transitioning
