Virgin filters

[Brian Gaff]

OK on Tuesday I went into webmail on one account and told it to not put spam
into spam, but mark it and deliver it normally. The result on Imap. well its
still sending them to spam folder. That is stupid. as pop3 is still not
delivering them unless I go to imap, select the incorrect spam messages in
the spam folder, manually copy them to the imap inbox then run the collect
mail option in the client at which point they get delivered by pop 3
properly.

The result on Imap. well its still sending them to spam folder.

I wonder if the spam choices include reference to some blacklist. I
know my Thunderbird filters include such look-ups so perhaps VM does
something similar?

At least Thunderbird has an "exceptions" capability where you can
effectively white list specific addresses that would otherwise be
blacklisted. Perhaps VM has such an option too?

The other thought is that you can have two email accounts, one POP and
one IMAP on the same email source. If you set that up, you would get
the spam delivered to your PC in the IMAP account which would save you
the webmail route each time.

No I have filters to sort emails into their folders from pop 3, but these
only look at the inbox as there is no spam on pop 3. I already have both
protocols set, so to sort from the list affected, which all go to spam, I
have to move the spam to imap inbox, then trigger pop3 to collect mail
again,and then they get sorted by the rules.
The issue that Virgin are flagging as 100 percent spam are that the list
in question has no certificate, which is blatantly wrong as all the other
groups.io lists seem to work perfectly, I hardly imagine that site has for
an unknown reason allowed just one group to not present a certificate?

My guess is that this is some remaining corruption at Virgin after the
denial of service attack on groups.io last week which took the whole thing
down. Its somehow triggered a black list and we all now wait for somebody at
Virgin or groups.io to sort it out. In the meantime, I guess I just have to
read the spam and manually copy stuff where its supposed to be. Brian
