We have been having problems with our newsletter getting blocked by AOL and Yahoo because a few members reported it as SPAM. When you report our email as SPAM, your ISP sends us a message asking us to remove you from our mailing list, and if we don't do it quickly, they block mail from us to all of their members. I then have to waste a lot of time trying to remove the block, and in the meantime, many others lose access to the newsletter. Sometimes we send very important stuff.
When we get a SPAM report from aol or Yahoo, I remove the person, and tell them they are removed. Almost every time, the person says it was not intentional and asks to be added back. I used to add them back but a few people then reported us as spam again after being re-added. When that happens, AOL and Yahoo block us and give us a hard time about unblocking.
So now - we will no longer resubscribe the email address of someone who reports us as spam. You can resubscribe under a different email address, but if you make a habit of this, we may refuse to subscribe you.
Bottom line: PLEASE - Do not click the report spam button when you want to delete a message. Just click the DELETE button.
