This is the 2nd time I’ve discovered that maillist mode in a Discourse user’s preference has turned off autonomously. The option remains selected but no messages are sent. The following process seemed to be a workaround last time: 1) Disable the preference, 2) save, 3) re-enable, 4) save [image] …

Toggling the maillist mode didn’t work this time. I changed the associated eMail account from a yahoo address to a gmail (Yahoo’s mail service has been growing worse and worse since it was reallocated to their AOL subdivision.) A couple messages have trickled in since then. But the forum has bee…

Well, in that case, maybe you can use this to test. :slight_smile: I know from lists on groups.io , where I read a dozen or so, that some moderators warn against marking group messages as spam, because that gets you unsubscribed automatically, and that automaton is a way to protect the list againt a…

I see the following in the logs: Messages from 64.71.144.218 temporarily deferred due to unexpected volume or user complaints - 4.16.55.1; see https://postmaster.yahooinc.com/error-codes (in reply to MAIL FROM command) There is more that I won’t post publicly. I don’t see any such messages fr…

[image] ennoborg: moderators warn against marking group messages as spam Yes, I’ve been very careful to mark the items that Yahoo routed to the Spambox as “Not Spam” and only delete them with the regular tools from the Inbox. 2 senders from the Gramps-Project always end up in Yahoo spam regar…

OK I get it. I once had problems with messages from you being marked as spam by Gmail, because you were sending those via the Gramps domain, and Google couldn’t verify their origin, because they were actually coming from Outlook or something. We solved that, some way, and in that case, what Google m…

Same here; I stopped receiving mails from Discourse sent to my Yahoo! address almost a month or so ago. Prior to that messages had gone down to a trickle and only a few messages would show up each day and I couldn’t follow a complete thread in my Yahoo! inbox. Around the same time Discourse sent me…

[image] Nick-Hall: Messages from 64.71.144.218 temporarily deferred due to unexpected volume or user complaints Seems odd that people who subscribe to the Discourse group and set up forwarding would then go and mark messages as spam. Is there enough evidence that this is happening?

[image] codefarmer: Seems odd that people who subscribe to the Discourse group and set up forwarding would then go and mark messages as spam. My assumption is that we are using a shared mailserver in Canada used by all the free hosted Discourse clients. And, since yahoo independently started…

[image] emyoulation: And, since yahoo independently started routing messages to Spam mailboxes (probably based upon volume of mail being sent), at least some of those people are letting the system clear those boxes. And their mail-client is reinforcing the dumped messages as Spam automatically. …

@smurfix (Matthias U.) had a lot of good knowledge interpreting eMail issues the last time. Maybe he could be enticed to help?
