Re: Problem posting to fltk.general via email (rejected by Google)

I've been having similar problems with the web interface.
I was able to post via email by dropping the period in fltk.general. Usually google based products ignore the period and make it optional. However in this case, including it failed -- omitting it succeeded.

Last week I was on tour and my mail(s) to fltk.general were rejected
by Google with the usual link to their more or less useless "help"
information (see below).
I even tried to post via the Google Group web interface and my first
attempt was rejected as well with "error message" saying just
"message deleted"! Not very helpful. A second attempt succeeded
then...
Now, back at home, I still can't post to fltk.general whereas
posting to fltk.coredev works fine (about 30 mins ago), and if this
mail arrives as well.
When my email is rejected I get this (edited) response mail:
```
Message
not delivered
There
was a problem delivering your message to fltkg...@googlegroups.com.
See the technical details below.
Well, I could try to use the web interface again, but this is not
only annoying but really ... (I don't know a word for this mess).
:-(
Does anybody else have such issues? My last successful post (via
email) to fltk.general was obviously on Feb 21 whereas I had to use
the web interface two days ago on Mar 4, 2023.
Note that I'm using a mail domain of my provider (online.de) which I
can't change in any way, i.e. I can't add any DNS settings etc..
Does anybody have an idea how to work around this - other than
trying another mail address? And why does it work for fltk.coredev
and not for fltk.general?
FTR: my answer to a question of today should have been the following
mail which should IMHO not constitute a SPAM problem. If someone
could be so kind to post it to fltk.general on my behalf I'd
appreciate this. TIA.

Building a fresh clone of fltk master from github, passing --enable-shared to ./configure.
Which OS, which shell?
Any reason the shared libraries are created under ./src and not under ./lib?
Probably history.
One reason might be the Windows problem that both the shared
library stub archives and the static libraries have the same file
type '.lib' which is a known and annoying issue causing problems in
many contexts (particularly if someone - i.e. a library build system
- tries to work around this and "invents" other naming
conventions!).
Maybe we could build the shared libs in ./lib where *I*
would expect them. This is done in CMake builds, BTW. However, we
need to take care of the Windows naming issues mentioned above which
exist also if you build with configure/make under MinGW/msys etc..
