Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
Apples have email programs that allow you to train the Junk mail to automatically move messages from someone or containing certain words to the junk folder. The rules for doing this can be quite

Hi all, This week's change log: /g/beta/message/12766 Feel free to reply to this topic if you'd like to comment on the changes. Or better yet, if you expect a lot of discussion start

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
Re gmail's spam filter, it has reliably put almost all of my messages from one mailing list that I'm very interested in into spam, despite my constantly marking them "not spam." So the description

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
Jeff, Thanks again! Um, ok. Taking the two together, I can compute the percentage of users of each service who've been removed for marking messages as spam: 41.7% msn.com 25.5% aol.com 8.3%

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
Brian, I agree if the target "we" is all of Groups.io, meaning that I don't think the service needs to provide that level of Email 101 tutorial. Nor would I necessarily list that as a "best practice"

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
Louise, My basic contention is that if users are educated about the availability of a mark/unmark as spam feature and whitelisting in general terms, and what those are about, that would be sufficient.

Your wish is my command, since the members list download button is where you pointed me to. ?:) 2111 member email addresses downloaded ? ?973 (46%) yahoo.com ? ?574 (27%) gmail.com ? ? ?51

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
I am not able to tell from your email, Brian, as I received it on my iPhone, which part quotes Shal and where your message begins. Not sure whether that is the fault of my iPhone but I am not sure

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
Jeff, Thanks for sharing that research! You've turned up some interesting results, and with a group as large as yours the statistics should be more broadly applicable than what I could learn from any

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
I have to say that I can only partially agree with this, as I don't think what an end user needs to know has much of anything to do with what's going on "under the hood." Most e-mail clients and web

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
J, Brian, I think the issue is what the users need to be educated about. And that varies with the email service they're using as well as the interface they use to access that service. Desktop web

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
Louise, ? ? ? ? I can't speak to how marking as "not spam" might be done on iOS since I have never been merged into the Apple borg and have limited exposure to iPhones and iPads. ?I would have to

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
I think both things are happening. Email services like aol, yahoo, etc., quarantine messages into a spam folder, and it would help to educate the user to check that folder with some regularity since

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
I presume that folks know that "whitefish" in that last post was supposed to be "whitelist," but just in case . . . I think I have finally figured out how to get my D*^%ED "smartphone" to stop doing

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
I think it depends on the technology you use. Sometimes it¡¯s not so easy. I can only move emails out of spam to the relevant inbox when using my iPhone or I can delete them if they really are spam.

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
Brian, In that sense I agree. But when Jeff says the user "marked a message as spam" and follows that by saying they have to be better trained, it sounds to me as if he's implying that the user

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
I'll have to disagree that this is not a user education issue.? Automatic spam classification is not new. You'd think by now people would know about the need to declassify messages automated as spam
By Brian Vogel <britechguy@...> · #1280 ·
Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
I'm not sure the answer is "user training." My impression is that these users are not themselves marking the messages as spam. It's the email programs that are doing it, which makes the situation even

Re: Group Members Marking Group Messages As Spam
I just figured out that a member went missing because they marked a message as spam and didn't see the email to get back in (because it was automatically marked as spam too). As a result of digging

Barb, That's not the part that controls messages sent to the +owner address. Below the Advanced box you should find a list of checkboxes for which type of mod notices you receive (New Member, Pending
