[TowerTalk] Messages end up in Spam Folder

[Wes Attaway (N5WA)]

I use Outlook on my computer and, as reported by others, the SPAM 
problem has been a big problem since last summer.  No help appears to be 
available from anyone.  There is some kind of handshaking problem 
between Yahoo and the Contesting.com servers.  It should be fixable but 
no admin seems to care.

As a workaround, I deleted my previous account on Contesting.com and 
joined with a new login name that uses my other e-mail address that goes 
through Bluehost rather than Yahoo.  The Bluehost acount relays 
everything to my Yahooo/Bellsouth account and it does not get spammed.

The only problem is that if I want to reply to a list message I have to 
log on to my Bluehost account and do the reply.  This works fine but it 
is a little inconvenient.  However, it does eliminate the spam problem 
for incoming mail via Yahoo.  Yahoo and Contesting.com servers do not 
like each other, for some reason.  It is a really silly problem and 
someone at Contesting.com should fix it.
