Hello everybody We have been experiencing problems with some providers, primarily BT over here in the UK, who insist on putting group mail with the precedence marked as 80 into spam folders, and adding the “Bulk” flag to the subject line of subsequent messages.
This has been occurring quite a lot lately on list. So we need to ask for your cooperation on this issue because it threatens the group as a whole. If you respond to a message which has “Bulk” in the subject line, we need you to please take the time to remove it. This issue is an important one, so much so that we will have to consider taking remedial action against those who do not cooperate on this issue. At the moment, I prefer to rely on voluntary cooperation. I shall try to develop a filter so that the subject line is edited at the server level. However, effective as of now, if a user persistently doesn’t cooperate with us, we shall have to consider putting them into moderation mode until they do. This is something which we’d really rather not have to do as it causes us work. But we do need to think about the group as a whole, and we need to ensure that we don’t get spammed by other providers. We would also suggest that BT users consider other options regarding mail providers when they join groups such as ours. I would remind them that we offer free E-Mail accounts to those who would like them, as long as they agree not to abuse the service. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
