David I don't think there's anything we (the list members) can do. It's probably the list server and AOL. Our spam blocker here can be set to exclude email based on certain criteria not meeting standards. If an email contains certain text, it gets blocked. The list server emails do not get marked as spam when they come through my server. So it is recognizing that they are coming from a valid IP address that matches with the rbase.com domain.
We have it check to make sure the IP address that the mail originated from belongs to the domain in the "From" address. If it doesn't, it flags it as spam. For example, I have my work email address set up in a separate profile at home. When I send email from my home computer, using the work profile, I'm logged in under my home ISP (mindspring.com). If I send something to someone else here, the email gets marked as spam because it's coming from mindspring.com, but my email says it's coming from heinrich-decal.com.

Are you saying we should be adding something to emails we send to the list and if so what info and in what part of the message? Subject? To? Body?
