Steve,
Somewhere in your email program or your ISP there will be a place to say
that emails from a particular address are not SPAM. You probably just
need to enter LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com in the right place and the
emails will land in your Inbox. Sometimes for mailing lists there is an
extra step as the emails come from one person and are distributed by
another (the list).
Contact your ISP if you can't work out how to do that.

HI Steve,
Have you ever considered adjusting spam filters? Just because emails
are identified as Spam does not necessarily mean they are Spam. No
Spam filter is 100% accurate - they all require some user input to
improve their accuracy.I use Gmail and am able to mark emails that
arrive in my Spam folder as not spam when I know that they are
definitely not Spam. This process helps "educate" my Gmail Spam
filters. There was an issue recently with AOL (I think) and Gmail was
marking all emails from AOL users as Spam. I received numerous
legitimate emails from AOL users and just marked them as "not spam".
Some still report as "Spam" but if I persist Goggle spam filters will
eventually learn!

I have been on this list for approximately 9 years and have
received immense benefit from it but I am now afraid that this may
be coming to an end.
Recently I have been receiving a few emails in my inbox as they
should, some emails with attachments which has been explained e.g.
yahoo and which I will not open but will instead delete
immediately, and the majority have been received in my spam folder
which again I will not open. At this moment, I have received 10
emails in my inbox and 46 emails in my spam folder for the period
of 03/16/16 - 03/19/16. I also know that some emails are never
received at all.
As an example of my frustration, I received Pat Hickin's email in
my inbox inquiring about creating a Comprehensive PDF which
immediately attracted my interest. This was followed by two emails
responding to this which seemed to imply that Michele had
furnished the answer. However I had not received that. I then
found Michele's response in my spam folder which again I will not
open.
I next decided to check the archives believing that the entire
thread would be readable there. However, I there discovered that
the archive hadn't been updated since 03/15/16 so there was no
Comprehensive PDF thread. I finally found it updated today,
03/19/16, with the thread including Michele's solution which was
great.
I understand Ken McGinnis' explanation of MailServers altering
headers, etc., leading to spam issues. However, I do not
understand why I can receive Pat Hickin in my inbox and have
received Michele there also on other occasions, yet Michele
responding to Pat goes into spam. It seems that there should be
some degree of consistency in the handling.
So my question is whether there is any hope for improvement? If
there is, I will try to stick it out because I have always liked
this list. If, however, this is the way it is going to be, I will
be submitting an unsubscribe request. If I can't receive
information in my inbox and I can't rely on the archives, then
there is no benefit.
And please don't tell me to change email providers as it is a
little late for that. I have been using Xfinity/Comcast webmail
for over 10 years and I have it configured the way that I want it
with some 170 folders for storage.
Hoping for an optimistic response.
Steve
