Beefsteak 288 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I've no idea if mine is a yahoo gmail, mine is just yahoo , It has been for 5 years, there's no problem with that is there?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,013 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Yes there is. We have hundreds of members with Gmail and Yahoo addresses. Some genuine members some not. Some genuine email addresses some not. When we do a broadcast message with urgent news we get hundreds of bounces, because Yahoo views our broadcast as SPAM, due the number sent to them at once from one email address/server. Therefore Yahoo/Gmail Members do not get the urgent news. This could also blacklist our server for spamming. A good example would be the death of a member when a broadcast was sent to all members. Hundreds of those emails were bounced from Yahoo/Gmail. Those members did not find out. Genuine Members will have no problem supplying their real email address as it is secure here.

mick2me 3,013 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 We cannot use the Member broadcast system until we purge the Yahoo/Gmail addresses. This would have been a very useful facility recently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 288 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 For the uninitiated amongst you, let me translate. If you have an email account that has been perfectly viable on every single forum you have ever used for the last 5/6 years or more, (including being a moderator on here, and two other sites, with the same email address) and it doesn't (miraculously) fall into the rules of the boss man , then you are banned .. Sorry Kev (And all others too) but thats how it is!!! This is being used as a method of removing me !!! because I won't be naughty and break the new 2 strike rule !!!! Will I Mick ?? (Or will I ??) Lets see how long this post remains ??? (Posted at 4.07 am 28/2/10) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 288 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Oh, and copied and pasted to a safe place too!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,013 Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Sorry I thought I had made myself quite clear on the reasons for not having these email addresses? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ashley 285 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 as a matter of interest why does all mail from here to me go into my spam? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,013 Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 If its in your mail reader it is a local setting. If it does on your ISP webmail, it confirms what I said earlier. I see you have an ISP email on file. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 285 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 not very clued up on pc's etc (but can service a gas boiler,lol) on btinternet it goes in spam (don't know ought about local servers etc) on outlook express it's in main email Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,013 Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 If its outlook express its possible to mark it as not spam. If its on your BT webmail there may be a setting there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
