So far it's all "well, someone might."
From what I can see, Yahoo.com Online mail interface has two options to white list mail, otherwise all new mail goes into the a SPAM box first. 1) White list the 2822.From (which it calls "Sender") by adding its to the user's contact list, 2) Creating a filter, which from I see does not allow 5322.Header rules. This is the filter form: Filter name: ______________ sender: _______________ [_] sender match case recipient: _______________ [_] recipient match case subject: _______________ [_] subject match case body: _______________ [_] body match case Move to Folder: ______________ The only way I was able to white list a test list was to use a Subject rule for [LIST_NAME] to move it to a folder LIST_NAME. -- Hector Santos, CTO http://www.santronics.com http://santronics.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
