Not just G-mails; I use hotmail (outlook), and all e-mails from Yahoo and AOL end up in my
spam folder. I have tried everything possible to stop this from happening to no avail, but
I see now that this isn't specific to just me, or the configuration of my mail.
Kindly,
Sam.

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Yahoo/AOL warning
(I'm not the most technical person, so feel free to correct imprecisions or
add better suggestions)
It feels like a blast from the past, but it turns out there's still a fair
amount of Yahoo/AOL users that are part of our community.
Just a fair warning: as has been known for a while now (at least 2013
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T58414>), yahoo (and AOL?) emails
through mailman lists are often treated as spam by gmail email recipients.
This has gotten worse: I understand Yahoo may have blacklisted
lists.wikimedia.org altogether, and emails are bouncing. I noticed for some
50-100 email Yahoo and AOL addresses on the Wiki Loves Monuments mailing
list that they bounced back, and eventually got automatically unsubscribed.
So if you or a friend has a Yahoo or AOL email address - you/they may be at
risk of being unsubscribed from (some?) Wikimedia mailing lists without
notification. The only 'fix' that you can do, that I'm aware of, is slowly
moving to a different provider, if you want to be active on these lists.
The issue is being tracked without much visible activity here:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T232417 (there may be more relevant
tickets).
Best,
Lodewijk
