It's utterly random. It's gmail false positiving on all sorts of messages, not
just putting them in the spam folder but refusing delivery of them (so you can't
move them _out_ of the spam folder and tell it they were not spam so it has a
chance to learn).

I think the original problem was that multiple Googlers had their email
misconfigured for a long time. Here's Linus complaining about it last month:

Which meant every time I went into the spam directory, there were a bunch of
lkml messages (including _every_ one from Kees for multiple months) categorized
as spam, and then it would spread to similar qemu posts, and then it would hit
the lxc list and so on because of "similarity", and even though I'd periodically
go through and "no, this is not spam" on lots of stuff to try to teach it
better, it gradually learned that "email from googlers, and anything that looks
like legitimate linux-kernel traffic, is ALMOST spam just for existing. Because
it looks like other emails that we were categorized as spam for header reasons,
and emails that expired out of the spam folder before being moved out again
because who notices a few missing lkml messages?"

I dunno how to fix it other than police my spam filter daily and hope it
eventually rehabilitates, which is a pain and I forget to do it when it's not
obviously failing at me.
