I copied this originally sent by Scott Logan over in the Lathes group. This was sent over a year ago, but it still applies today.
"From: Scott Logan <ssl@...> Date: Fri, Nov 22, 2019 at 3:39 PM Subject: [LL] A note about spam reporting. To: <[email protected]> As group owner, I get notifications when a member is removed for reporting group messages as spam. I believe most, if not all such reports are unintentional, so I like to explain how this works for all of you. When you receive the emails sent to the group, sometimes your own provider (Yahoo, MSN, Comcast, AT&T, Microsoft, etc.) may file the message in your spam folder. As a Yahoo user, I know this happens, it has happened to me. This, in and of itself, is not a problem. When it becomes a problem, is when you delete these messages directly from the spam folder. When you do, groups.io (our group provider) gets notified and you are automatically removed from the group. You also get another email from groups.io explaining what happened and this email includes a link to rejoin the group. So, when a message to the group ends up in your spam folder, mark it as not spam, or whatever terminology your provider uses, and return it to your inbox. From there, if you wish, you can delete the message. If you feel a message *IS* spam, contact me, the group owner, and I can review the message and take action on the sender, if warranted. And, of course, if you no longer wish to receive the group emails, just click the unsubscribe link included in every message. Our provider, groups.io, is not one of the big behemoths in the industry, and they are SERIOUS about not becoming blacklisted.
