Thanks that was useful information. I've seen the DKIM abbr. but haven't
looked into the meaning of it.

I tried:

git send-email --from=noralf.tronnes@altiboxmail.no
--reply=noralf@tronnes.org

and now I'm getting 'pass' in the Authentication-Results field, so
that's progress. I'm still not getting all the emails through, so I
still have that problem, I'll have to wait and see what the ISP can tell me.

But this means that a linux.dev mailbox is an option for me should my
ISP be a blocker.

Noralf.
