Lost messages

I have posted a message twice in reference to the mail 'phishing' filter,
but can find neither in this newsgroup. Where might they have gone? The
problem is that the filter continues to mark a specific senders mail as
'phishing', even though I have added the senders email address in the
'accept' bucket. What do I need to do to get messages from a legitimate
sender without having to "unblock" them from the phishing filter?

Thanks

To answer your lost message question first.

Both of your other messages made it to the MS Communities web interface, but
as you say did not make it to the NNTP newsgroup.
Here are your messages:
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...&pt=&catlist=&dglist=&ptlist=&exp=&sloc=en-us

This is caused by having enabled the 'newsgroup message rating feature', on
the general tab of tools>options, if you disable that option, what you have
experienced will not happen again.

This is a known problem, and MS are working to resolve it.

Now for the Phishing question?
The question seems not to be to do with safe senders etc, I am guessing that
the mail contains some links to web sites, that WM Phishing Filter does not
like?
Tools>junk mail options>phishing.
I would leave it be for overall protection/warning, and put up with the
annoyance for that sender, does your weather report site offer a plain text
option for its mail sending format?

Thanks for both answers, Mac. I disabled the rating feature. Also, I
certainly agree with you that it's better to put up with a little
inconvenience than to have a ton of phishing junk get by. The senders email
is:
(e-mail address removed). So, I guess I'll just leave things
as they are, and stay happy.
Thanks again, Ross.
