<div dir="ltr"><div>Alicia, you can also set up a filter in Gmail which will over-ride its spam settings, and thus prevent it from routing emails with certain characteristics (e.g., from particular senders) to the spam folder. When I receive an email from Tim Hagan or Ron Windeler or Bill Redpath, Gmail places a bright yellow banner on top of the email which says "<b>This message was not sent to Spam because of a filter you created."</b><br><br></div>Dan Wiener<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 3:26 PM, Alicia Mattson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:agmattson@gmail.com" target="_blank">agmattson@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>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.<br><br>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.<br><br></div>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). <br><br>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.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div>-Alicia<br><div><div><br><br><br></div></div></font></span></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 2:27 PM, Scott L. <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:scott73@earthlink.net" target="_blank">scott73@earthlink.net</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="h5">
