Re: [TCML] Admin: List status and help request



I have had the blacklisting problem in the past, too. It seems there are
people out in the world looking for ways to trash the Internet like they do
their neighborhood. The same people who practice hacking websites also
practice trashing newsgroups and mailing lists. They learn a way to
"report" spam, and then go around making all kinds of malicious reports.
Some people used to spoof messages from other people's mailing lists, and I
think that has a lot to do with the current black listing efforts.

The end result is that free and independent news sites and forums are being
herded into the big name social media providers and their platforms,
because they have the AI algorithms to block spam and provide reliability.

There is a way to fix the email troubles, but it requires some study about
the current header and footer expectations with regard to privacy,
disclaimers, and unsubscribe information. I gave up on it years ago as the
rules keep changing and I have better things to do with my time. If you
have better things to do with your time than be an email technician, then
it is best to just use a big name platform for your services.
