Email Attachments on the list

[Guest guest]

Thank you to Bonnie for passing info from another list regarding the Yahoo spam

notices and email attachments.

Yahoo has installed SpamGuard to the lists. It is an optional list setting, but

Yahoo automatically set the default to ON. They did not bother to notify the

list owners and moderators, of course!

The filter can be turned off, but ONLY by the list owner. Moderators may not

change the group settings. I am a mere moderator, so I can't do anything about

it. I don't know if Beth is a moderator or owner so she may or may not be able

to change things. If Beth can't change it, we are stuck with these attachments

and bogus spam warnings from Yahoo until Jill returns.

For anyone who owns other lists on Yahoogroups, here is how to turn off the

filter.

-----------------------------------

I'm noticing various messages being marked as 'spam' (plus being converted

to an attachment) by Yahoogroups when they're not spam.

List Owners/Moderators, you need to go under

Management-->Group Settings-->Messages-->Posting and Archives.

Edit the Posting Options to the far right. Under the column for SpamGuard,

please, *please* turn this off.

For Yahoo mail users, legitimate discussion and fanfic posts are going

under bulk/junk mail.
