A note about the SPAM flags

[Iggy McSnurd]

I checked into Yahoo's help-files, and the only real reason those
accounts should be getting flagged as SPAM is if those posts are being
sent to multiple addresses at the same time, either overtly, or through
a BCC:.

For those of you who are falling prey to this, I have a bit of advice:
Have a full system check done by your Anti-Virus and see if it catches
anything.  The big virus that the e-community is dealing with does a few
things, but one of them is also sending information to certain computers
via attachments and/or BCC:'s so that the virus can gather information.

This is especially likely if you're connecting on from a work or school
based e-mail address that requires you to go through your employer or
school's host servers.  (This is because those are the ones most likely
to be affected by the major aspect of this virus.  This can also happen
to your PC if you have LINUX on it... since the virus is designed to
latch onto LINUX as its primary function.)

If you don't qualify under the major factors (work/school based e-mail
and/or LINUX on your personal system) or you're not sending these
letters to multiple addresses in any way that you know of, then it's
something that we might want to work on narrowing down.  If there's
another reason for this, we will want to look into it, and/or report it
to Yahoo for investigation.

(The Elves may also want to check if the SPAM guard has been activated
for the group, and who did it...  This will help as well.)

Thought I would let you all know.
