That has been my experience as well. Usually it will be a few posts from the same person that get identified as spam even if they are list members, and once you open the email and and click "not spam," it automatically moves those emails to the in-box. -- Mauro Diotallevi "Hey, Harry, you haven't done anything useful for a while -- you be the god of jello now." -- Patricia Wrede, 8/16/2006 on rasfc ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

I'm trying to figure out how to use the labels and filters right now, but it already seems to know how to filter out most of the spam. Do you use filters?

Except I just got this in my shiny new gmail box. Doug see how you like it when your e-mail starts piling up in your inbox and sent box, all bundled together with stuff you didn't want to save. if you're like me and only save important e-mail this is a mess. i went bank to using yahoo after a month. i've had the same account for years and already gmail has as much spam in less than a month. jlm Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

This is a "feature" of gmail, a rather annoying one, IMO. But if someone replies to your message, the thread will turn up in your inbox. So, is your message bundled with this one in your inbox? :) Julia ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

OK, I set up a Gmail account such that it should receive mail from my zo.comaddress and it should send mail using that address. I sent test messages from another mail program and did not receive them on Gmail but did receive them in that program. I sent test messages from Gmail and received them both in Gmail and my other program. I also posted to the list from the other program and didn't get it on Gmail but did get it on that program. Any ideas? Doug ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
