If you are using Yahoo mail and not getting your email notifications from the board heres why. (attached picture)
That's a copy of HALF of the mail rejection notices I've got from them today alone. The other half would'nt fit in the screen shot.
All mail that the board has tried to send to members Yahoo accounts and has been blocked. It looks like we have been completely shut off from Yahoo at this point.
I'm working on it, but man whaaaaaaaaaaaat a process.
It's being caused by emails getting forwarded.
I been getting mine....like once a week and all at once! ......What can I do to make it easier for you Jimbo?
I delete them anyway now that the message dose not show in the E-mail.
Jim I got one last night the time stamp it was sent was 1pm and I got it around 10pm
If I need to do something on my end to help out I will need some help doing so
I am sure you had that figured out already though :laf:
i got several notices to yahoo last night from here that i had messages all at once.
all the notices for for old PMs that i had already read and responded too.
some wree days old.
Get a gmail account. You won't regret leaving yahoo. :nono:

Filtering? When it comes spam, Yahoo doesn't seem to have any problems filling my mailbox. :argh:
I have already signed in here and read my PMs before I check my yahoo mail. It doesn't matter to me if the e-mails even get sent. This is my first stop when I turn the 'puter on. :biggrin:
A gmail account can never be filled with spam. :nono: I use mine when I order online. I get as many as 500 spams a day & at most 2 or 3 make it to my inbox. :yoyo:

So many folks have my yahoo from my web site and such to change it would be tough.....I do have G-mail and 5 other accounts but I do not want to mix and match which one I use for what. :nono:
I understand. Altho it does sound a little like your braggin that you have friends. :iroll:

Glen, I just signed up on G mail...
It looks like I may have gotten spammed already...

There's nothing you folks can do as forum members. And changing your email from Yahoo to Gmail or changing it period isn't going to do anything either.
These are issues I'm working on with my hosting clients. Where there are a lot of forwards being used, and were all on the same server.
It's like this, lets say someone sends Viagra spam to Bills domain email address Bill@BillsCustomCalls.net
Bill dont have a program to manage his domain mail with so he has it all forwarded to his baconnut@yahoo.com address where he can send and receive mail as normal.
This email gets tagged by our server as spam as it arrives to Bill@BillsCustomCalls.net. Actually all servers have certain characteristics they look for in an email to help cut down on it.
Now the email gets forwarded to Baconnut@Yahoo.com since we have a forward set up on it so that bill can receive his domain mail.
Upon arriving at Yahoo, it see's this and does it's part also by checking for spam characteristics and where it came from.
Do ya see what just happen?
Yahoo tags our server as a known source of spam, and either blocks any mail coming form it, or delays it.
I merely used Bill as an example, he is a very very very small part of this and it's not his fault, since I'm the one that set the forward up for him.
The real issue is with the fact that I have close to 50 web clients using forwards. But I will be working with each one of them over the next couple weeks to show them how to utilize there domain mail without having to forward it.
It's not just Yahoo either. It's any mail server in the world that see's or gets one of these forwarded spam emails.
OOOPPSS......sorry.. :doh2: :biggrin:
:laf: for what?

as far as being Dem or Repub. i dont vote a straight ticket..that just shows idiocy in alot of cases,just my .02. people who alwasy do that regardless of the issues, to me are not voting to solve problems in our country but only in spite to keep the other party out of office.
that bein gsaid.
finally,wow, alscalls if im your only frend, youre in deep doo-doo. course you ARE "Mr. Crappy Pants" so ya got plenty of that, dont ya? :biggrin:
Yahoo has been having some issues and they are working on them. I imagine that has something to do with this situation. If any of you guys have the free Yahoo account, I can't recommend to you strong enough to upgrade to the Yahoo Mail Plus. It costs you about $19.99 a year, but it is like having a new truck compared to a tricycle. It has a superior spam filtering system and the capacity of your mailbox will never be filled. You can receive and send larger attachments and more attachments per email. Keep in mind if you do this, it won't help your buddy who is on dial up with minimum speed and mailbox capacity. It also has a superior filing system where it is easy to find the emails you file for future reference. I had Gmail for a while, and it is fine, but it can't compare to Yahoo Mail Plus, in my opinion.
cathryn..........All I can say is......... :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: What took ya so long! I been waiting for my whoopin. :wink:
I do believe we are related though :innocentwhistle: :innocentwhistle: :innocentwhistle:
i was busy, geez nd i cant be xpectd to find and put out all the little fires you start over here the instant you do it,lol...BTW>>>>be careful what ya wish for..you aint even an hours drive away,lol.
:biggrin:

When I registered here I gave my "junk only" email address without thinking. Then after reading the first posts I finally changed it to my "friends only" email address and then I read this

All I can say about Yahoo is it should be call Bahoo, since my Internet provider (ATT) started routing my mail through Yahoo my computer has been so screwed up I can hardly do anything, been on the phone with them for the past two weeks, nothing accomplished, can't believe Microsoft offered 46 Billion for Bahoo. :confused:cc
