1. I just tried to

6. The 2 yahoo groups I tried didn't go through - looks like same for

DU Panic room

[helderheid]

10. OK that is the only group it came through for me - that one is moderated -

the others I sent to are set to have emails come through without being moderated.

2. It isn't the ISP

but the spam filter they use. A common one is Brightmail (as I recall) and it was filtering some dem sites until it was caught.

and then contact the HELL out of them.

11. The unmoderated Yahoo group I tried to sent the press for freedom url

to is packed with spam on a daily basis.

From stock tips to penis enlargemnet, drugs through the mail, mortgage ads, etc.

Makes me wonder why press for freedom url can't get through?

Also the other unrelated url I sent as a test which came through fine didn't require entry of charactures spam block exercise, but PFF did both times. Then if didn't come through anyway.

12. Sounds like we know what is happening. Who do we contact at yahoogroups?

[John Q. Citizen]

13. I don't know. n/t

[helderheid]

14. ok - I'll look into that. Thanks for your help on this!
