Re: [amibroker] Curious problem with replies to posts

Hi Dennis,

 

I'm just seeing this thread, so my suggestions may be off, however you might consider whether mail.com (or one of the ISPs you use with them) has gotten itself listed on an Anti-spam blacklister service such as Spamcop (spamcop.net, owned by Ironport) or ORDB (ordb.org). Some ISPs use these "services" to indiscriminately block or filter email which have a "bad" domain name" somewhere in the header, whether or not it is the point of origin.  Sometimes ISPs also block any email that seems to originate outside the US (especially certain countries from which spam or phishing often originates).

 

I have had to direct my ISPs to never block any email to me (and then use my own filters I've written into Mailwasher -  www.firetrust.com/en/products/mailwasher-pro  ) because too often one of my ISPs would start bouncing emails simply because a service they subscribed to said Yahoo.com (or any number of other domain name servers) was a spammer. The problem isn't really mail.com's fault, however, and there isn't much they can do about it except to request to be taken off the list -- a process which may or may not work or be done expeditiously.  

 

The following link has a bit more explanation if you are interested.  http://www.stanford.edu/services/email/antispam/blacklist.html

 

All that said, a couple days ago I think Yahoo had some problems as only 3 or 4 of 6 posts I made to this group appeared, and one of them took over 12 hours to show up.

Keith,

Yes that is true.  However, the features I use are not new.  I have been using POP and SMTP from my email program to mail.com since 1997.  I have a lifetime email subscription I purchased back then so that I would never have to change my email address.  They did make a major upgrade to their systems right when this started though.  I do not let mail.com do any filtering of my emails.  I do that locally.  

It sounds like my email "replies" to the forum are now being tagged as spam and not making it through some global filters out there.  Though my new posts are not treated that way.

I am not sure who to point the finger at to get this fixed.  I think I will have to start with mail.com as the source of the problem.

BR,

Dennis

Do you want to add that your email company is mail.com and that you are using some of their new 'features' of their 'premium' service, namely POP and SMTP directly to their servers, instead of through your ISP?

Hello,

I receive posts through the email option. I am getting them all except in one special case. A few of weeks ago a curious thing started happening to my posts. When I reply to a post it no longer copies me on my own post. I see the post in the Yahoo Groups interface, and if someone replies to my post it shows up embedded in theirs. It started happening right after my email company announced a major upgrade to their infrastructure. I can't see how that could have anything to do with it.

It will be interesting to see if this post comes back to me since it is not a reply to another post.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Best regards,
Dennis
