Hi Jonny,

Glad you got it sorted, Spamguard is programmed to filter out message with 
certain words in the subject line, but if you mark a message as not spam, 
future messages from that sender should not be caught in the filter, but I 
would advise you to keep checking the bulk folder over the next week or two and 
mark anything legitimate as not spam, and you will find that eventually 
Spamguard will get your instructions.

Regards,

Pete H.

  Cheers Peter

  Got it all sorted out now.  I've no idea why some E mails that weren't spam 
yesterday are today.  I had no idea of the messages I was missing.  There was 
loads in that bulk folder that shouldn't have been filtered.  It's like the 
postman deciding what you can and can't have.

  Anyway, thanks for the advice.

  Johny

    Johny,

    BT Yahoo uses a filtering program called Spamguard and if you have it 
switched on it will send any mail it considers spam to your bulk folder.

    Sign into BT Yahoo with your user name, which is your email address, and 
password, then go to "mail" and there you should find 5 folders, one of which 
is bulk, the number of messages in each folder is shown against the folder's 
name, and there is an "empty" link below it which, if activated, will empty the 
folder.  To examine the contents of any folder press enter on its name and you 
will be taken to the first page, each page contains 25 messages.  You can read 
an email by pressing enter on the subject line, and you will find a series of 
buttons above and below the message which include "not spam" and if you press 
enter on this button the message should move to your inbox.

    Hope this helps,

    Pete H.

      Hi there

      Anyone know how to get to messages that have been spam filtered?  I'm 
using BT as my ISP, and they use Yahoo as their E mail server by default.  I 
think messages are being automatically put into a spam folder, but I don't know 
how to get there.  Any clues?

      Johny
