Email Attachments to 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.
