Yahoo routinely bounces newsletters I’ve subscribed to?

I found out that Yahoo routinely bounces newsletters I’ve subscribed to because they come from bulk mailed publications like Gizmo’s Support Alert and others. This is done without me knowing and without my knowledge! My Support Alert newsletter has asked me to change email providers. I have the paid upgraded mail account with Yahoo and also an upgrade for extra content through Gizmo’s Support Alert. I’m the customer so why am I getting the shaft?
Sorry, correction – (Without my knowledge and without my permission)

Yahoo isn’t the only one–AOL does this too. Basically, enough people (and it doesn’t have to be many at all) marked it as spam that they block it at the server and never even try to deliver it to your spam folder.
It’s a really awful practice. No one likes a ton of spam in their inbox, but it is far worse to have messages not get to you at all. Email companies should rethink their anti-spam policies.

Try this and see if it makes a difference.
First, go into your blocked list and remove addresses of any of the newsletters that you want to come to your inbox.
On mail page, click on “options”—then on “block addresses”. Scroll through the blocked list and click on the specific addresses to highlight them and then click “remove block”.
Make sure their addresses are in your Address Book.
If you’re using Beta mail—-the blocked list is in the spam section. Mail page>>options>>mail options>>spam.
Good luck.
