Perhaps that is the penalty for attempting to compete with search companies.

It's not just Google either. My provider uses Yahoo's service for email, and
yet Jimmy's messages to the list, and as best I can tell only Jimmy's from
the ymail account, appear to get bounced and never even reach my spam
folder, let alone my inbox.


Just to be clear, this is not a list admin issue—Jimmy's ymail address
was initially moderated as a new subscriber, but we unmoderated him as
soon as he posted from it. The rest is on gmail, unfortunately.

It's also not the first time we've seen it. Others have had issues
posting from Yahoo addresses in the past.

Yup. I had the same issue in January with a yahoo address.

Admins (and several users) warned me. I switched to gmail and it works 
perfectly well now.

If you are using gmail, Set a rule that *@lists.wikimedia.org never go to
the spam folder.

(If you are using  rule to label them, it can be done at the same time.)

That is why I asked Jimmy a question yesterday that he had already answered
in another thread. I wasn't aware that he had been replying until I saw
someone else answer one of his emails.

So yes, everyone using gmail, check your spam folders.

Just to confirm, all Jimmy's email in these threads were in my Gmail spam 
folder when I looked.

If you're using Gmail, go look at the spam folder and bring his messages back 
in...

[Wikimedia-l] My posts going to spam

2016-02-29 Thread Jimmy Wales 
I'm switching to this email address for posting, because apparently
there is some kind of weird problem between yahoo and google such that
gmail users see all or most of my messages in their SPAM folder.

If you've asked me something and think that I didn't respond, I
recommend looking there.
