HI Steve, Have you ever considered adjusting spam filters? Just because emails are identified as Spam does not necessarily mean they are Spam. No Spam filter is 100% accurate - they all require some user input to improve their accuracy.I use Gmail and am able to mark emails that arrive in my Spam folder as not spam when I know that they are definitely not Spam. This process helps "educate" my Gmail Spam filters. There was an issue recently with AOL (I think) and Gmail was marking all emails from AOL users as Spam. I received numerous legitimate emails from AOL users and just marked them as "not spam". Some still report as "Spam" but if I persist Goggle spam filters will eventually learn!
