[Lnc-business] LNC business email list

[Alicia Mattson]

Google puts every message I receive from AOL users (Sam and Ron) and from
Yahoo users (Tim and Bill) into my spam folder.  I check my spam folder
every day, move the not-really-spam back to the inbox and delete the rest
to keep it cleared out.  Google thinks they are spam, but at least they
deliver the message to me and let me choose what to do with it.

Yahoo, however, sometimes refuses to deliver emails from this list.  Both
Tim and Bill use Yahoo accounts, and they have both mentioned to me that
they don't receive all their messages.  In Tim's case, Yahoo routinely
bounces messages sent by our list back to the list, and after so many
bounces, the list automatically disables Tim and sends him a message to
make him take action to get back onto the list.

The spam detection algorithms in some of these large providers is likely
the cause.  A quick search finds articles about changes that Yahoo made to
it's spam detection earlier this year, so that it doesn't tend to like
emails that have the sender identified as being from one domain (the one in
your email address), but the message is coming from servers on another
domain (the LNC list servers).

There may be a way for Yahoo users to do something similar to what Scott
sent out (which is for Outlook users, though I think those settings don't
come into play until after Yahoo has already decided to refuse to deliver
the message), and give specific approval for their Yahoo account to deliver
emails coming from this list, but I haven't searched for those directions
yet.  If anyone finds such an option, please share it so Bill and Tim can
try it.
