Hi Pam So the first sight you had of my DELAMORE/PENKETH/HUNTINGTON post (which I of course knew would be of interest both to you and to Eleanor in New York) was 24 hours and 51 minutes after I'd sent it? But just two hours & two minutes after my post complaining that RootsWeb appeared to be putting obstacles in our way? :-) It's been suggested to me that the 'problem' might be restricted to members with a btinternet address (caused by BT's purported paranoid & misconfigured spam filters) but as I've no means of checking this out I'm taking it with a pinch of salt.

Hi List, I always check my Bt Yahoo Mail Spam folder as I often find some of my Rootsweb Lists mailings end up in it!Those that contain a subject line with several surnames in it seem to cause a problem to the BT spam filters.

Hi Will I check my BT Ya-boo spam folder at least twice a day, and yes you're right - every now and again I've found a few 'genuine' messages which have been mistakenly shunted there. But never any of my posts to the RootsWeb Merseyside list, which have simply 'gone missing'.

-----Original Message----- From: eng-merseyside-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-merseyside-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Gordon Evans Sent: 15 November 2010 08:26 To: eng-merseyside@rootsweb.com I now find that about a quarter to a third of all my Rootsweb messages are filtered out as Spam by BT Yahoo. This is only a recent problem. For some reason this started after the Rootsweb server was down for maintenance a few days ago!
