some of my friends are being suspected of being phishing or spam

[FireBrick]

Lately some of my friends, when replying to emails FROM me are ending up in
the junk folder
With the big red warning.
I have to 'not junk' them.
Funny that it's on 'replies' and not original from them emails.
Most of them are in Yahoo Groups.

none of my rules does anything to send ANYONE to the junk folder.

Is there a file or list that can be read to see if my friends are on it?

possibly they got put on the Blocked Senders list in error.
If so....where is that list?
What is it called?
And can I edit it?

please and thank you.

I'm old and my momma taught me to ALWAYS say thank you. <smile>




I always used OE with XP.
Got tons of spam every day.
Had to buy and run MailWasher as a prefilter to get rid of all the wrong
language, obnoxious porn offers, and all the other 'buy this now' ads.
It was a chore in itself to keep up on all the MailWalsher filters.

But VM is doing a pretty good job of sending those into the bit bucket.

Just for fun, I went to my webmail account and found a half dozen of the
crap.

Closed it out and opened VM and not a single one got through.

It's too good to be true...I'm sure they will find a way around VM's
filtering eventually.

But thanks to the code crew for a good job.

And if some Help Person on this list knows where to forward this email to
the right person...please do so.
I owe them a beer. (well not if it's the whole MS crew, that could break my
debit card and they will have to settle for a 'virtual beer'

You're welcome. Thanks for your feedback.
