Money tip filed as spam?

For the first time ever Yahoo put the money tip in my Bulk Mail folder

I've told it it's "Not Spam"

Just wondering if there was a reason that yahoo's changed it's mind about the money tip this weeK?

    Pink Winged said last night the same, she is with BT for email. :eek:

    Might well be a lot of complaints from people saying they didn't get their email today.
  • Hi sra

    Have a look in the Free safer system for online spending section. There's a word in there that may have caused that. ;)

    The tip is always spam-tested before it goes and the results were fine.

    Could you do with a Money Makeover?

    If you open up any message that is in your bulk mail folder there should be a button above it "not spam" for you to click.

    Thanks sra,

    I hadn't opened any bulk mail before so I'd missed that. I had just sent the mse e-mail to my in-box. I'll try that next week, but from what you have said it doesn't sound like it will make much difference.

    I've been receiving the e-mail for a couple of years now with no probs....so if you manage to work out what's going wrong with yahoo, I'd be really grateful if you'd let me know how to sort it.

    Thanks again,

    Pink

    I don't know how yahoo decides what is spam and what is not.

    I hope that if enough of us click 'not spam' it will eventully convince their system.

    That's why I'm letting it get delivered to bulk rather than creating a filter to send it to my inbox icon7.gif
