Can anyone tell me why mail sent from my Yahoo account gets sent but never seems to actually arrive the inboxes of AOL accounts? I was just testing it on my own accounts, and I also have every reason to believe that a couple things I've sent to other people on AOL never got what I sent.
Does anyone know what the deal is???????
Muchas Gracias phrom your grateful (not greatful) pal,
Auntie

I know all of the emails that are sent from our offices go to span folders for both Yahoo and AOL. We did have a spammer sending spam from our server, but that was taken care of. All of the emails I'm talking about were either specifically requested or personal emails, we don't use our main mail server for any of our mass emails (oddly enough, the mass emails go through).

I'm on AOL and experience this from the other side. I am on 4 Yahoo groups, and one of them was being rejected as Spam. I am on several listservs from my alma mater and many of those are either going into my spam folder, or being returned to the college. I have been on the phone talking with them several times, and am still not sure they understand the problem.
Generally I had been happy with the service and until 6 months ago or so had received almost no spam whatsoever (even though I have had the same email address for 6 years). Then all he** broke loose.
Why don't I change-a long history with them, though I am likely to change if and when I can afford to get a new computer-this one is getting to be an antique.
