[CQ-Contest] 3830 & Yahoo Mail.

[Tom Haavisto]

Hi Brian

I suggest you create a Gmail account, and use that for your 3830
subscription.  Works like a charm, and can handle the high volume that
3830 generates.

Since Dave's mail the 3830 posts in my Spam box has rocketed to 60/70 each day and this morning after the busy contest weekend I have more than 450 in there which is ridiculous.

Dave tells me they are having great problems with Yahoo due to this issue because of the vast number of subscribers to the Contesting.com.

I am doing that now even though it seems it is too late for me.
