[SPAM]Re: when replying...

[Guest guest]

Another thing that could help is same thing MissG did is delete the message you are replying to and only quote parts you are replying to. That way there is not a huge message to go through also pile up of messages that create date backup in our mailbox.

Also, its ok to be firm yet not grumpy.

Bill, I think you are onto something. I have never yet received an ASPIRES list email message that has NOT appeared in my Antispam folder.

I am replying to all parts of this. I have rarely received an ASPIRES mesage in my spam folder if ever, and the t rick is once you receive one, to tell your computer that it is not spam. I will gladly delete the irrelevant parts that I am replying to, but may see connections that others do not see, so may leave more in than someone else.

Whenever a "spam trap" is there, if you click on the icon that says "not spam", that should take care of future responses to the thread.

Not everyone will be using an email client with the buttons yours has.

But anyway , there's more to it than that. " Spam " , and real

malware, is flagged at many levels.

For example, some ISPs flag it/them before it gets to the user. A

" newish " corporate decision by some companies. From her Subject lines,

I'd bet that's what's happening to Miss Grunge.

Some ISPs offer *degrees* of security. They must be opted-in or

opted-out separately by a user's deliberate action at the ISP level.

Yahoo-Groups (not an ISP), I believe offers some security options. With

similar requirements for deliberate user action.

Then there's one's own email client security. Differs with every client

in use. Most require deliberate user settings.

So there are at least those three possibilities for filtering which

affect ASPIRES emails.

What I'm seeing from ASPIRES, and only since the move to Yahoo, is my

software warning me about a potential " remote access " - i.e. potential

for being connected to an UNauthorised site.

In my experience these usually represent " exploits " originating

almost entirely from Windows machines.

Ninety-plus-percent of ASPIRES email reaches me with NO flags, NO

warnings -- NO trouble of any kind. As I said in my first email on the

subject, it's *relatively* few.

It *doesn't* happen with any of the dozen or so other Listserves to

which I'm subscribed.

I have McAfee

and I do as you have described, every single time I get Aspires mail, and

every single time you all get sent to spam L I’ve also marked the list as a safe sender and that

doesn’t make the slightest difference. I envy you your spam filter.

ggrrrr.

Grunge/Stalker - The square-bracketed " [sPAM] " message/warning in the

Subject line of your message may be an indication your *ISP* is flagging

your mail. I spoke of this in my earlier message to .

McAfee likely hasn't anything to do with it.

Visit your ISP's web-site; find how to access your account, Once you're

" in " your own account pages, you should be able to turn off, or some way

modify, what your ISP is doing (to you).

NB: At present, by constantly telling your McAfee application " it's OK " ,

McAfee might now be letting through everything with the [sPAM] notation!

Whether it's false, or REAL! This is not a good thing to allow.

That's right, . Speak to your computer like a magical 8 Ball,

and it will give you the answer you seek.
