I thought I wasn't having any trouble with messages arriving, but then I logged into gmail via the web and checked my spam folder. All that was in there were messages from this list and one other. I checked them all and clicked the not spam button. It said they were moved to the inbox. All were yahoo addresses except one from Hans. Strange that all his other messages would make it but Google's spam filters would catch one.

Is there a punishment too severe for spammers?  I think not.

Apparently, so is gmail... (and maybe for similar or "analogous" reasons.) I use gmail [since circa late 2005] and I found this message in my "Junk mail" (or 'spam') folder, there on gmail.

I don't keep up with (reading) PLUG-DISCUSS as often as I used to ... but any time I want to, if I really do want to read it, then (no matter) even if the robots are starting to categorize messages like this as "junk" mail -- (a "false positive", IMHO) -- I could always go read the messages on the archive, on the server.

I don't think I've been "dropped from the list" [yet], .. but, thanks for the HEADS-UP! :-) !

Just my 0.02 ... YMMV ...

    Your membership in the mailing list PLUG-discuss has been disabled due
    to excessive bounces The last bounce received from you was dated
    12-Apr-2014.  You will not get any more messages from this list until
    you re-enable your membership.  You will receive 3 more reminders like
    this before your membership in the list is deleted.

    I guess Yahoo is treating PLUG as spam.

    The newsletter folks like iContact are having to deal with Yahoo,
    Gmail, HotMail..... etc bouncing emails if the recipient does not
    open a certain number of emails they signed up to get. Must be a
    profit thing.

    I do not read every plug post so maybe that is what happened to me.

    Thanks to some changes at yahoo, people that were subscribed to
    the plug
    mailing lists and probably wanted to continue to receive PLUG
    email are
    dropping off the list like flies due to their messages from the list
    being rejected.

    Obviously this message won't reach the people who are being
    dropped from
    the list, but if anyone runs into someone that says that haven't been
    getting new emails, you can tell them that they need to switch
    providers
    because yahoo and any other domain that is hosted by yahoo will no
    longer accept plug emails.

    I'll try to archive the bounce notifications and if yahoo changes
    their
    policy, I'll manually resubscribe anyone that gets dropped.  Until
    then
    we have to assume that this change is permanent.
