After CW CQWW contest I had to go away for a few days. On my return the were
some 1300 mails in my Yahoo mailbox and a few in my Spam box. I should have
unsubscribed.
I deleted the majority and a day later I had mail from Dave Pascoe, KM3T who is
one of the Admin staff for Contesting.com, enquiring why I had been marking the
3830 post as as 'Spam' On enquiry it seemed that there was about a dozen
involved.
Over the years Yahoo have been diverting the odd 3830 post into the Spam box, I
read and delete them thinking nothing of it. Obviously the ones Dave referred
to had been in the spam box. Since Dave's mail the 3830 posts in my Spam box
has rocketed to 60/70 each day and this morning after the busy contest weekend
I have more than 450 in there which is ridiculous.
I know nothing about how Yahoo works with regard to Spam. I am pretty sure that
I did not mark any of my Inbox mail as Spam although cannot rule it out. I may
have done for one page. Dave tells me they are having great problems with Yahoo
due to this issue because of the vast number of subscribers to the
Contesting.com.
The only solution, if it is a solution, I can think of is to mark all mail from
lists we subscribe to, whether or not we intend to read them, is to mark and
move them into the Inbox before doing any deletions, do NOT delete them in the
Spam box! I am doing that now even though it seems it is too late for me.
Is there anything I can do by contact with Yahoo to rectify this issue? The
Admin guys at the List have more than enough to handle without all the
aggravation they are getting from Yahoo and also AOL I understand. All
suggestions welcomed.

Brian C4Z / 5B4AIZ.
