Yahoo.co.uk Spam Filter - programmer_ceds - 03-01-2024

Does anyone else have problems with Yahoo.co.uk putting emails into spam? - particularly those from this forum that now all end up in spam. It doesn't seem possible to turn off spam filtering (at the moment I get very few actual spam emails - perhaps that's tempting fate!). I have the forum email address in the list of contacts - which is what yahoo suggest - but it makes no difference.

This means that using Thunderbird on the PC or K9 on my mobile I have no notification of replies on this site.

AFAIK we do the right thing (DKIM).

I monitor two mail ids that receive mail from G-F.n, one for Ofnuts and one for the Admin. And the mail they both receive from GF-n has been marked as spam since February 1st. But the catch is... all the mail I receive from DigitalOcean (our hosting company) is also marked as spam, so I wonder if DO datacenters haven't been marked as spam because some of the servers they host are used by spammers.

I thought that it might be something like that. It wouldn't be a problem if Yahoo would let me turn off spam filtering or if Thunderbird could read the spam folder in pop3 mode.

I have just added a filter on Thunderbird to under the spam filtering if itis done by TB itself. However it is also possible that the filtering is already done by the provider.

Yahoo is putting the emails into its spam folder so Thunderbird doesn't get to see them. I have to log in to the Yahoo website and mark them as not spam - every time Angry

I would open a gm@il account. If y@yoo is your ISP they are probably operating to a corporate agenda. Gm@il is also a corporate of course but they are bigger and better for most things.

This type of stealth censorship (call it what you want) is what mainstream media live on IMHO.

More like heavy-handed protection of innocent users than stealth censorship IMHO.

Did you tried Evolution (sudo apt install evolution), it downloads everything even the ones in the spam folder on the server (I don't have a Yahourt email though Big Grin ).

ThunderBird does the same. the problem is that you don't look too much in the spam folders, and things that are put there directly do not produce a notification.

I may not have Thunderbird set correctly but it definitely doesn't download from the Yahoo spam folder - the emails don't appear in the TB spam folder.
