If you're looking for listserv(r), you're in the wrong place. See <https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Mailman%20is%20not%20Listserv>. To address your actual issue, the problem is your list members are reporting list mail to their ISPs as spam. You MAY be able to address this by education. You need to ensure that no one is added to the list without opt-in and you need to remind members that if they don't want list mail, their recourse should be to unsubscribe, and that reporting some mail as spam will not result in selective filtering of some mail or action against the posters of mail they don't like, it will onlt result in all list mail being blocked for everyone. You may be able to negotiate with your host over measures you can take, but the main thing is to train users not to click the 'spam' button and to give them easy ways to unsubscribe and to complain to you. If you convince your host you are trying, they may understand, but they are stuck - your user's spam reports are giving your server's IP a bad reputation and causing all your mail and, if it's a shared host, other customer's mail too to be blocked by various ISPs. The host has to convince those ISPs that they are doing something about this. In the long run, just switching hosts will not solve this problem if you can't convince your users not to report mail from a list they signed up for as spam. You might try adding a msg_header and digest_header[1] with a "you are receiving this mail because you subscribed to ... To unsubscribe, ... Please don't report this as spam ..." type of message. [1] Depending on your list's content filtering, and your user's MUAs, *_header may be problematic and editing *_footer may be better.
