yahoo


 

I have a yahoo email I am using here on my groups. Lately when I write a letter it comes back into my spam folder. I quickly move it out of there. I am not bouncing.
I am wondering why it is going into spam when it didn't do this before.
Is it better to use a gmail for iogroups? Is yahoo giving iogroups problems?

Thanks

Anita?


 

Anita,

I have a yahoo email I am using here on my groups. Lately when I write
a letter it comes back into my spam folder.
Someone else reported that behavior in Y!Mail recently.

I quickly move it out of there.
That's good.

Y!Mail is among the services known to send a notice to Groups.io (causing your unsubscription) if you mark a message as Spam. I don't know if they're guilty of the AOL sin of doing so even when you simply fail to remove a message from Spam before it auto-deletes, but just as well to head that off. Also, marking them as not-Spam will likely cause the filter to learn not to divert such messages - after a while.

I am wondering why it is going into spam when it didn't do this
before.
There was a time (years ago) when spammers tended to put your address in both the From: and To: fields of their messages. I guess they thought you would naturally open something that came from yourself. A lot of email services started treating such messages as Spam, notwithstanding the legit case of a message returning from an email list.

As to "why now", who can say? Email services are constantly tweaking their spam filters to try and keep up with the onslaught.

Is it better to use a gmail for iogroups?
I think it is better to use gmail, period. But then I'm a Gmail user so of course I'm biased. You might not like it, to each his/her own.

Is yahoo giving iogroups problems?
I doubt they're doing anything directed at Groups.io specifically.

Shal thanks. I will think if I want to use gmail. I don't care for it really. I have it set up on my yahoo account where my gmail goes there also. If it will stop the letters going into spam I might give it a try.
I have always liked my yahoo email the best. That could be changing.
