Issue with notifications
Hi Gang!

It appears that Yahoo/AOL is blocking all of our emails from the site again. There really isn't anything we can do to prevent this. It is also causing some other emails to be delayed. We highly suggest, if possible, to use another platform for email. Yahoo does not provide a method for us to contact them.

The main cause for this is Yahoo/AOL users using the “report spam” it “report email” functionality in their email client or in your web based email. Always report spam comments here on the site and then delete them from your email if they are unwanted. These reporting functions are what is causing our emails to be blocked at this time.

	I had a couple email notifications delivered to my Gmail spam box yesterday too. It said they were flagged as spam due to similarity to other known spam. I marked as not spam, but I’ve not had that happen to me with IJ notifs. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	hey there! if you do a search in gmail for "lj_dontreply@insanejournal.com" and create a new filter, one of the options is "never send to spam" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ugh, that annoys the heck out of me about Yahoo/AOL. They regularly do the same thing with my personal domain for reasons that are obscure to me (I don't send out lots of email, unlike a journaling site that sends notifications, so I don't think it's genuine "user complaints" unless some bad actor is spoofing my address and I'm getting the blowback), and as you note, there's no way to contact them about it - so neither I nor my host can really do anything. Such a pain in the ass.

	Their blacklisting methods are abysmal. I worked for one of the top three insurance companies in the US, and we frequently were blacklisted by Yahoo and AOL. When inquiring as to why, we were told we sent too many emails at a time - aka paperless documents. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I messed up! I converted a journal account (~rameral) to an asylum. However, I forgot to switch over maintainer controls (~36069) to this journal, which I'd hoped to use to manage both comms. Is there a way to fix this? (Reply to this)
