Hi Troy,
One of the reasons I began use my Proton Mail account for the various CrossWire
mailing lists was because the CrossWire mail server was dumping everything from
any btinternet.com address into the SPAM dump!
I think the server setup needs a thorough vetting to stop it rubbishing genuine
participants' email messages!
How is it that it's always me that hits these problems?
Best regards,
David
