I would be surprised if it was spam. I'm aware of only 4 problems, 3 of
them were because my spf was initially hard fail and it was sent to
@openbsd.org addresses. I quickly changed my spf to soft fail and sent
the two that were never delivered. Another developer had the same
problem but I didn't get any bounce in this case and the developer
found the mail in the spam.
The fourth one is a user that said it was in the spam and it was after
my spf change so I don't know which caused it.

Some people mailed me after I posted the list here and no one said
it was in their spam.

iirc I changed my spf before I sent emails to any non @openbsd.org
address so I doubt it could have caused any problem. (Always dog
food stuff :)).

Sure, I'll provide a list of maintainers/ports to be cleaned for
review.

Thanks!
