(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
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. ________________________________ From: Wikimedia-l wikimedia-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org on behalf of effe iets anders effeietsanders@gmail.com Sent: 11 October 2019 6:19 PM To: Wikimedia Mailing List Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Yahoo/AOL warning
