Tony, Just to clarify one point. With the yahoo.co.uk account the
spam problem was intermittent. I could sometimes go for months with
almost spam free downloads and then suddenly it would begin again.
You might be lucky - perhaps it would be worth giving it a try. To
be honest the main reason why I changed my Yahoo lists from
yahoo.co.uk to Gmail.com was that I kept absent mindedly posting to
Yahoo lists from the wrong account and getting my messages returned.

Hi Douglas
This is interesting, as currently I do not get very much in the way of
Spam. The Local Service provider here on the Isle of Man has a Spam
sifting device which they call Spammaster, which automatically sifts
through the mail and takes out the Spam sending me a digest of material
that is supposed to be Spam twice daily. I have the feeling that some of
the Yahoogroups list mail is being regarded as spam and returned to
Yahoo,
hence the bouncing. If however I am going to be faced with a large
quantity of spam by moving to a Yahoo.co.uk list then it will need to be
thought about again. From what has been said here, I am not so keen to
make the change as I was.
One thing I am currently doing, is downloading mail every three or four
hours, both day and night, to see if this keeps my inbox at Manx.net any
more manageable, and hopefully goes some way to preventing the bouncing
problem. Whether this will work or not it is too soon to say as I only
started to do it yesterday.
