I have been finding quite a few posts to BA from people using Yahoo and AOL are being caught up in the spam filter on my Gmail account. It might be worthwhile checking your spam filter for posts to BA if you use Gmail.

Thank for that. I guess everyone whose mail server flags suspected spam should also be checking, even non gmail users. It’s likely that this new origin checking system will be used more and more by spam filters, even where mail servers ignore the advice to delete the emails.

I’m running both Outlook and Gmail and find that all B-A messages go into both inboxes, which is good for me because I seem to have a habit of deleting stuff without reading it properly and this gives me two chances of maybe seeing something useful. My Gmail spam box cops the real rubbish and my Outlook deletes it before I get to see it. Heaven.

But yes, all gmail users should be checking whether birding-aus mail is ending up in the spam. I’m not that familiar with gmail, but think suspected spam goes into a folder called Junk? What can you do with it then, Carl? Do you have to move it manually to the Inbox every time, or can you tell it not to treat that type of mail as spam?

It goes into a Spam folder. Just checked and I have one in their from an AOL account. You can now mark the message and click the Not Spam button or open the message and do the same. Either way it will end up back in your Inbox and Gmail should *learn* that you don’t want messages from this user treated as spam.
