[TowerTalk] Messages end up in Spam Folder

[Larry Burke]

I had the same experience with sbcglobal.net, which is "powered by Yahoo!".
Their spam filter settings cannot be changed or turned off and they are set
very tight. All sorts of stuff ends up in the spam folder. At one point
virtually all of my reflector e-mail was going there unbeknownst to me. I
use Outlook, not webmail. To get to the AT&T/Yahoo spam folder one needs to
log into webmail. I can confirm that AT&T doesn't give a crap based on the
hours I spent on the phone with them on this issue. 

Like K4WJ, I set up a whitelist for all the reflectors and lists I am on. To
do this go to the "gear" (help symbol) in the upper right corner of the mail
page then "settings" ---> "filters". At this point you should see a screen
that says "sort incoming mail into folders". Click on "add". You want to
"deliver to inbox" any message that contains the subject "towertalk". Do
this for each of the reflectors you subscribe to and individuals from whom
you expect to receive mail from. 

You will still have a few missed emails, but this addressed 95% of my
problem.

I had the same problem with my k4wj at att.net (provided by Yahoo.)

I set up filters for all of the reflectors I am a member of. The filters are
set up to send each message to the IN box. They have been working very well
for me.

ending up in my spam folder.  I go through the spam list and mark each
messages as NOT SPAM and they are moved to my inbox.  Not sure why Yahoo
continues to send them all to the wrong folder.  Any easy fixes? It seems
that  everything else I receive is properly sorted, only Towertalk messages
are ending up in my spam folder.  I receive a lot of spam, I suspect
everyone does these days but they are real spam except those from this
reflector.
