I have noticed something interesting in the email you just sent to the list, so I have started a new thread... :)
Your sent email, came in marked as SPAM, and I wondered why...
yes, it is from Google, who sends a lot of spam, scams etc. but that alone should not get it marked as spam... So, I looked and it is so interesting... (maybe I need a life :) )
Dave, in the headers you literally have three email addresses: Relayed For: <davec-b@rogers.com> - No SPF / Anti Forgery Cc:<davecb.42@gmail.com> - Which is currently a -> ~all Reply-To: davecb@spamcop.net and your SpamCop receive only addy, also a -> ~all
Which is why your relay is scored additional, as this is also what spammers do very frequently (They use (rather abuse) @gmail with a reply to of @outlook.com, etc)
It is also interesting, that Google, probably in the interests of becoming a better netizen?, has again started including relay headers, again, after not including same for a long while...
Anyway, long winded, but here is the question: Do you not find many fake sent from and backscatter issues to your @rogers.com? If yes, why even still use it in your Thunderbird config?

That's an artifact of fighting with outgoing mail relays: in principle it should go out via Rogers Yahoo, but it and Google take turns being broken. Spamcop was bought by cisco, who dropped their outgoing relay offering, otherwise that's all Id ever use. This one may be better or worse, as it's from my work address. Alas, they use paid-for Microsoft services, which may be broken in different ways. --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
