I thank Joe and Rick who tried to help, and > Ed who tried to help off-line. Yes, and gmail... I thought this was answered quite some time ago. You will have trouble getting a mail client to accept mail as being not-junk when the mail comes with headers that say it is junk. If you were to circumvent that, all externally-determined junk mail is likely to get passed through as not-junk. You'd need to use a better mail client, that lets you set priorities of what un-junks the spamminess rating. So that certain list headers get a very high rating. Or, receive your list mail from a different address not served by yahoo or gmail, while realising that choosing a different service that works now, may inherit the same problem at some future time. Really, a better way to handle mailing lists is a newsgroup server. But I'm less than impressed with the news clients I've tried on Linux, so I've never bothered using the gmane news gateway. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
