asterisk users - Apr 2005 - OT: google groups Asterisk-test and now Asterisk-Users marked as spam on Gmail

Starting around Apr 14th Gmail has started marking all messages for 
Asterisk-Users as spam. Prior to that on google groups
someone created a asterisk-test group (seperate from this group). Is this 
perhaps related? I believe it all has happened within a week time frame. 
Gmail is a great service but if this is what's going to happen I will quit 
using gmail. I'm giving a shot out to see any other gmail users out there 
having this problem. My Asterisk-Dev seems to be unaffected.

Who's having similiar issues?

TIA,
Sig

you may be able to make an exclusion, I dont know.

I do know this:
the day before it was posted here that google groups is archiving this
list I got 2 messages, one on each of two other lists I am on saying
google groups now archives those lists.  These were from google.

The week following it being posted that there is a google group for this
list people on this list (myself specifically) were critical of google
for doing this (at that time, becuase of the two other lists the day
before it appeared to be google sponsored).  This critisism included the
one-way nature of the group.  They get content from here but do not
return any.

Now the list is marked as spam, when it is clear that you must register
and go through a confirmation process.  This is not a spam list of any
kind.  

Interesting string of coincidences.

i bet somone was marking messages from asterisk-users as spam on
constan basis and that's why it's happening

Yep. Thought it was just my kids messing around with my gmail
settings, but I guess not. It's been happening here too. :-/

I have.

I keep going to the Spam folder, select them and click "Not spam"

Maybe if we all do this, it will fix the problem

Hoping we can keep using gmail !

Same here...  pratically all Asterisk mail now going to the Spam folder.
I keep "un-spamming" them.

Slightly OT, but for those of you who don't want high volume lists
clutter their mailboxes anyway, let me remind you that gmane.org
provides a (standalone) news gateway to many mailing lists, including
the * ones.

If you use that gateway, you can read and post to this list via a
newsreader. You need to stay subscribed though to those lists which
require subscriptions, but you then can disable mail delivery to your
inbox on your respective list options page.

Also, upon first time posting to a particular list, gmane will take
you through a otherwise painless registration procedure, as detailed
on their website.

Advantages:

* pull semantics (news) vs. push (mail)
* especially no more cluttering or drowning of your mail inbox
* also, lightens the load on the digium list server(s)
* no more unconfigurable spam filters bullshitting you (gamil).

Disadvantages:

* initial setup
* those who don't know how to deal with news/usenet might have a
  difficult time using it.
