[aklug] Re: Roots mail isn't working

You're saying:

  1. Mail is actually sent outside of your box to the correct account
  2. Mail is received by arbitrary mail software and classified as spam

Your options:

  1. Tell arbitrary mail software not to mark mails from root as spam.
  2. Follow common rules of thumb for distributing mail
    2.1. Using mail set a flag called "From:" to something less nefarious
