Yes, spam filters seem to be the culprit. I have several investment, political opinion, self-development and economic opinion letters I subscribe to and from time to time they stop coming. AOL is especially bad for this. Then, I have to go and sign up again.<BR>
<BR>
Today, I received a notice from Motley Fool (investment letter) with the following at the top of the letter:<BR>
<BR>
</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Lucida Grande" LANG="0" SIZE="3"> "To prevent this and other Motley Fool email newsletters from getting swept up by an overzealous spam filter, please add our "From" address (Fool@foolsubs.com) to your address book." </FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"><BR>
<BR>
This is the first time this has appeared. So, it may be that by putting the 'from' address, or maybe the OSLIST@......address in our address books, then something in the spam filter checks that and lets it through. This is all conjecture on my part, based on the above request by Motley Fool. That will be tough for the OS listserv because the mail comes from the individual, not the listserv. Don't know what to do about that other than creating a folder on my email list that contains all the email addresses of those who post on the list serv for OS. That way my address list won't grow to disproportionate (e.g. gargantuan) length.<BR>
<BR>
There is probably some more savvy systems person on this list who can either say the theory is correct or not. Who knows? Let s/he speak now!!<BR>
