Senoo, Ken

Well, it might be true (I've contacted the email server admin to check,
but no answer yet), but anyway, without knowing the contents of the
mail C David Rigby got, I'm not really sure about what we are dealing
with.

Yes, maybe the mail was tagged as spam by gmail. But C David Rigby
talks about a "unsubscribe" link, which is not included in messages sent
from gnusocial.net (or stock GNUSocial, for that matter).
