Re: [Mailman-Users] Our list serv host is threatening to shut us down for spam abuse

I had a customer with that problem. We ended up using individual emails and adding the email address to the footer. I don't remember the field, something user or user- something. I had a program to scan those reports for the tag and provide the list of addresses to the list manager. I

Hi, I would work with the provider in this situation. In my case I run several lists which are all opt-in, but people click on the report as spam button in Yahoo and AOL, causing issues. I have an agreement with the hosting provider who run the network that if they get any complaints from

Re: [Mailman-Users] Our list serv host is threatening to shut us down for spam abuse

I was using the term List-serv as a generic term meaning a mailing list people subscribe to in order to receive messages sent by members via email. I am not aware, nor care to be aware, of technical definitions between Mailman and Listserv. I am a volunteer so those concerns are above my pay

Re: [Mailman-Users] Our list serv host is threatening to shut us down for spam abuse

I'll second the suggestion that you split the list. I'll also suggest that you do *not* subscribe anyone to the split-off instance: you should make them go through a COI (confirmed opt-in) process AND you should make certain that you retain all records of that as long as the list exists.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Our list serv host is threatening to shut us down for spam abuse

Hello Jim, I'm not sure what they mean by cross promotion, but you may want to separate your list into a public service announcement list and one for sales/trades/etc. I can help you find alternate hosting if you like. Feel free to contact me off list. Jim Ohlstein > On Jun 16, 2016, at

[Mailman-Users] Our list serv host is threatening to shut us down for spam abuse
