Anti Spam doesn't recognize Yahoo Group messages

I’m using Outlook 2003 on a 64 bit quad pentium and vista home (64).  The Norton Antispam allows unique sender addresses but can not be programed to accept mail with specific words in the title or in the “TO” field.  All of my group mail ends up in the spam folder unless I’ve declared it not spam for a particular sender who was added to the list.  We need more flexible rule creation if it is to be a useful tool.

Which version of Norton 360 do you use?

Try to add the domain name @yahoogroups.com (address) to the Allowed List in AntiSpam Settings.

You can add a Custom Spam Rule to look for words, names , addresses, etc and mark this email as a Not Spam email.  This will solve your problem.  Here's the location (sorry but picture shows spam in Off setting):

Great idea but it won’t accept the “@” without something before it.

N360 rejects any characters such as @ - _ all of which are approved for yahoogroup titles.  Thanks for trying

I have tried this in NIS 2009 and able to add the domain @yahoogroups.com to the Allowed List without any name before it. Here are the screenshots:

If you are using Norton 360 3.0, you should be able to do this since it is using the same engine of NIS 2009. Please check it once again.

You need to set it to dmain and not adress

Hi btbuz

You can create many rules with Norton Antispam and improve the Filtering Efficiency

1. Allowed List

You can add you group mail senders address to the Allowed List
Confidure the Allowed List and Set the Address type as 'Domain' not 'Email' , then add the Domain address.

This will accept '@groups.com' without something before it

2. Custom Spam Rules

You can customize Spam protection by identifying keywords that should and should not be filtered

Custom Rules help document can help you in creating Rules

3. Prescan

You can train your Inbox and other Folders which has Clean Emails
To do this Select the 'Run the Training' plugin from the Outlook toolbar and select the Folders that contain all your Clean Email.
This keeps you free from Spam and reduce the false positives

Other than this you also have the Blocked List, Autoblock and 'Block Email from anyone not in the Allowed List' filtering options to improve the detection rate

Let us know if this info helps you
