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.
Google's algorithms know better than you what email you ought to be reading.
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.

Because I use kMail, I always turn off the spam filtering in my mail provider's configuration and write my own local filters.
Leslie
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.

Hmm... well, if you actually have SpamAssassin and/or BogoFilter running, it's possible that the databases they've built up are causing false positives? Perhaps there's a way to flush their content and start them fresh?
Leslie
I have resolved you and anyone on the list, from going to spam by shutting off gmail filtering and handling it locally. I don't think it has to do with SpamAssassin or any local filtering.

I'm pretty sure you're right. There is a small possibility that the local filtering has somehow become confused, but that's what the 'Mark as Ham' button is for. :-)
