Got this post from the moderator of a Yahoo Group I subscribe to, using
the address in my sig. Which is my main email address.

Dave,

Every one of your postings is being flagged by Yahoo as potential SPAM and
is requiring action by the moderators before they are published in the
forum.

Something is triggering the Yahoo! SPAM filter.

Your IP address may be blacklisted, your mail client may be adding wrong
meta-data, your email ID may be blacklisted, your domain may be
blacklisted, etc. Can you please investigate as **** and myself are
getting tired of continually having to approve your postings.

******************

Doesn't appear to happen with another Yahoo Group I subscribe to - and
happen to be a joint moderator ;-) - so how do I check what the problem is?

Maybe the mail server you get on that account is listed.

I've noticed some people sending email to me get in the spam bin of Virgin
every so often, then its rectified after a few days.
If your ip address that you use for one group is different to the other
that too can trigger such weird goings on
Might be just easier to first subscribe with a different address and see
if that fixes it.

Something in your range of IP addresses was blocked and you're paying
the penalty. Likely someone's PC was infected last week/month
whenever, maybe still is.

All sorts of possible reasons, and yahoo (along with hotmail) tend to be
about the worst for this IME. Will usually "fix" itself within a day or
two - how long has this been happening?

Most likely by far is that the SMTP server that is connecting to yahoos
server is in a blacklist somewhere. Without knowing how you are sending
email I can't really help.

http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx is useful, and if you don't know
the ip addr of the server you can send an email to
and let them work it out.

Probably just an iffy word in the subject line. I have a friend who's
messages about "tandem" riding always get binned.

Doh! Just read the "every one" comment. Ignore my comments.

That may affect things in weird and wonderful ways.

... - so how do I check what the problem is?

You need to get several examples of the *full* header of the affected
messages and then see if the MTA's have put any useful information in
there as to why they think it is spam. But as this is Yahoo! so I don't
hold out much hope of that...

Being mean I'd say it is a moderators/Yahoo! problem that they need to
sort out. Presumably mail gets to other destinations without problems so
it's nothing you are doing "wrong", it's the filters at Yahoo! that are
borked.

Does you ISP block outgoing traffic on port 25? If not you could try
sending mail without using your ISPs "smarthost".

Several reasons given above, but the fact that the moderators have
to manually handle it *more than once* and the yahoo software isn't
learning by this and whitelisting you is plain poor design by yahoo,
and it may be similar plain poor design by yahoo that's causing the
original problem.

Yahoo is dreadful - partner is a co-mod on two groups. And they
regularly have bizarre issues. A recent one was due to a subject line
having "paracetamol" in it - all posts on that thread had to be manually
allowed. But sometimes things "just don't work" - I think they are
trying to emulate Apple but got it upside-down.

I've added a different email address to the list on Yahoo - but it's not
clear if I can now post from either of these to all Yahoo groups, or have
to make the new one the default and change my local settings for all of
them?

At least yours are getting somewhere. One of the groups I'm on is causing
me grief because every message I send gets bounced back with a message
saying it was returned "due to a suspected guidelines violation", with no
apparent way of contacting yahoo monkeys to get it corrected (helpfully,
the link in the email just goes to a 404 page within yahoo's site).

AFAIK it's IP-based, although it's interesting that none of the other
yahoo groups that I'm on are affected.

cheers

Same here - just the one Yahoo group affected,the others ok. I changed the
email address for just this one group today, and it is still causing
problems. Perhaps Yahoo don't like BT as it's a btinternet.com one. ;-)

I've changed the address from my own domain to the BT one. Looking at the
headers which are about a mile long it went all round the houses. But I
don't understand any of it. ;-)
