Hi Milady, A friend may show up as a suspected spam if the words used fit the spam filters you have enabled. Members of a group are not automatically friend. I have seen friends from one group posting to other groups with words which trip my spam filter. Of course the senders name may be spoofed. I have noticed several spam to me sent by me ! NOT. The secret of Mail washers is to block everything and then add in your friends. I have it running on a second monitor 18hrs a day so that I can pre screen my email before downloading it. I hope this helps explain it. Mike ~ It is a good day if I learned something new.
