Alessandro,

It may have something to do with your messages being filtered into the SPAM 
folder.  I have been
lurking in this group for a few years trying to keep abreast of the technology. 
 Of those that post
to the list, you (unfortunately) are the only one who gets sent to the SPAM 
folder, automatically,
might I add (this is not by my design).  Perhaps others who might be interested 
in what you have to
say are finding your messages mixed in with the trash also?

forgive me if I haven't yet grasped how it works. I've been receiving
spam for much longer than that, and lazily waited for someone to reel
off the rules to kill that plague. It never happened. Why? When I
subscribed, I thought I'd at least understand that...

Understanding this list's dynamics is not easier. As in many lists,
messages that start a new thread are relatively rare. I don't have
message-per-thread statistics, but usually there are many responses.
Some messages get no response; for example, Frank sent a message on Spam
Statistics on April 28, and nobody answered, AFAIK.

In particular, I'm puzzled as to why I got no answer to my yesterday's
message. A previous message by Amir, DNS-based Email Sender
Authentication Mechanisms: a Critical Review, had several responses. The
subject of my I-D is almost the same, an SMTP extension to manage those
authentication mechanisms. However, I had exactly zero response. The
same happened for a similar message I sent on May 25. I cannot believe
it is by chance. Since it happened twice in a row, there has to be a
sound reason.

Possible guesses:
