Same here, except that it doesn't work. I turn off all spam filtering in my
webmail accounts; and since I set Kmail to receive text-only (with the option
to click and view html), it doesn't much matter if I get spam, because I can
just delete it. (And when I enough spam to be bothered, I have the option of
using kshowmail, which allows me to preview emails and delete them from the
server without ever downloading them. It works nicely in tandem with Kmail,
but since dropping my old Earthlink account, I haven't needed to use it.)
The thing is, I switched from Earthlink about 18 months ago, I changed first
to Gmail, and now use Zoho as my primary account; but now I don't really get
any spam to be filtered (except of course from Felix's Earthlink account!).
There is no reason for either Gmail or Zoho to block anything, because I get
virtually no spam, so I don't understand why, despite all my best efforts,
certain emails keep getting blocked by default. I can only guess that their
email addresses have turned up on some "master spam list" out there that is
used by various providers. I trust that they have been blocked by mistake,
and are not really spammers, but it's annoying.
Anyway, one keeps moving forward. I check my webmail occasionally, and check
the online record of the mailing list on Trinity's pages, and (unless I have
some sudden flash of insight) will leave such issues for others to sort out.

Hi John,

For what it's worth, I've been getting warnings from the Trinity mailing
list that messages sent to my accounts are bouncing. I used to have
Gmail, but then I got wise and switched to Zoho mail, and things got
better ... for a while. Then I started getting the same messages.
I still get *most* of my messages. However, since I use Kmail on my local
machine, I sometimes don't know about missed messages unless they get
quoted by somebody else, or once in a blue moon when I actually log in to
my webmail accounts. Messages from Michele Calgaro always get marked as
spam; also, anything from the mysterious Liddell. Also I think one or two
others sometimes.
Since I seem to get most messages at least in quotation, and can find the
rest in my webmail accounts, I don't care enough to investigate; but it
would be nice to know the causes of these issues.
Bill I'm on gmail as well. I have tried telling it
they aren't spam and
that works for a few messages and then drops them back to spam
again.

This is crazy ! I've not had a post from the list since the 16/09/18,
until I posted that I wasn't getting any. I went and checked my acc
and there were no posts from the lists at all, not even in the spam
folder. Then I make a post and hey presto, I'm getting my own mail
and reply's back.
Weird !
Thanks John. At least it now seems to be working.
