I was wondering how this could be. Perhaps the 'spam filter' is to strict. I can send you a list with good mail adresses if that is needed.

I also want to point out i have been recieving a few mails from 'fake bots-united members'. This is like, i get a mail from Aspirin (and the e-mail adres is okay there too in the 'from' field), or from myself. It has a file attached, but was already removed by my Norton Antivirus.

Just pointing out , perhaps something can be fixed about this?

Btw, i care more about the 'mails not getting through' subject because i could miss vital information with (good) attachements from my fellow students...
ok, just to understand the filtering ...

every mail is scanned and assigned a score. If the score is higher than 5 then the mail gets dropped ... everything from hotmail any yahoo automatically gets 2 points ... so there is very little othjer triggers needed to stop the mail ...

thats why

tell your friends to get a proper email adress. i would really like to set the filter to DROP everything from yahoo / hotmail, cant do that unfortunately i will look into that virus thing, can u sent me a copy of those mails as well as the norton logfile please ?
