Thanks for all the suggestions. I had this same Yahoo a/c for more than 20
years with no problems before..
Initially I will take Zoli's tip and mark every misdelivered mail as 'Not
Spam'. That should give someone some work to do and hopefully they will get the
message.

Hello Brian,
I also use yahoo mail as my main personal mail. If you check your spam box
regularly and mark a few of the first 3830 posts going there as not spam, yahoo
will learn that they are not spam.
