Something else is going on somewhere. I use gmail and I don't have any
problems getting mail from this list. If Google thinks something is
spam and I have set a filter so it puts the mail where I want it and
not in the spam folder Google complains saying this should be spam but
you have set filters to keep it out of spam. I don't get that annoying
message with this list. There are a few other list that I do get it
but I just ignore it. I also check my spam folder and trash folder
regularly and tell Google it screwed up when it does which is not very
often.
