I discovered by accident in my yahoo spam two emails that emanated from here that were recently sent to my yahoo address.

Was wondering what triggered yahoo to determine spam from Beer Leg?

Also to let others know that if you have yahoo email accounts to check the spam as valid emails from Beer Legmay go unread.

Sadly, when a spammer decides to spoof an email address, there's not a whole lot that can be done. However, if you would be so kind as to forward them to me at admin@surveyorconnect.com, it may help. Thanks!

RADU:
I read your post a bit differently than Wendell did.
I too find email in my Yahoo spam box that is actually legitimate regular mail. Mostly they come from a bulk mailing (like here) or even Yahoo groups. I believe that Yahoo "learns" from how you treat the incoming mail... mark it "not spam" and perhaps it will start to learn what you want... It is a Yahoo thing, you will need to deal with them on that.

Oh, thanks Peter... I see what you are saying and I obviously misunderstood.

Yes, it has nothing to do with us if Yahoo determines that email from us is marked as spam. Yahoo (or any other email provider) doesn't know us very well so it would be rather normal for them to see anything from Beer Leg as spam, especially because of the name. A lot of that determination stems from how young our site is, too. It may take awhile to be considered non-spam.

Peter is right, you can simply tell Yahoo that it is not spam.

Wendell. On finding in spam I made them non spam.

I had just wanted to let others know that if fellow posters use the beer Leg site to send email responses that their email provider's server may junk them.

Wendell send an email through using my profile address from Beer Leg and also get Angel to send one as she was one who ended up in spam mail. That will determine if I have trained Yahoo .

I responded.

The not spam button has worked.

Was the word "Survey" in the title or body of the email? "Survey", as in "Fill out this survey and we'll send you an IPOD!!!", is common in Spam email and probably flagged for that reason ... I've had problems with that before.

Good point, I hadn't thought of that.
