A precise explanation would require a precise incident report and the exact mail daemon error message, but I can reply generally. You have a tendency to broadcast each of your messages to multiple individuals and lists who have not requested them. Some messages may be off-topic to some lists, which can trigger a period of moderator-initiated subscriber moderation on a single list. When a subscriber is on moderation, each of their messages must be individually approved by the moderator before posting, causing a posting delay. Obviously, you are not currently denied posting privileges on the NewPacifica list, since that's where I read your reply. Some internet lists and individual mailboxes are configured to automatically block messages that include more than a certain number of recipient addresses, since multiple recipients is a common characteristic of email spam. Individual mailboxes blocking your messages for this reason can usually be configured by their owners to allow multi-recipient messages from designated accounts via "whitelisting." Some but not all spam-filtered internet lists also have this "whitelist" capability. Additionally, each individual receiving your messages has an opportunity to report it as spam, and many who subscribe to Yahoo! lists use their Yahoo! email address for their Yahoo! list subscriptions. If a Yahoo! subscriber reports a message as spam through the provided SpamGuard facility, other messages from the same address or from a different address but with similar content may be automatically tagged as spam and routed to the bulk mail folders of all Yahoo! addressees in the recipient list. Occasionally, message from you have included all caps in the subject line or in the message body. This is another common characteristic of spam and there are several such characteristics that an intelligent anti-spam filter may examine and assign a score when analyzing a particular message to determine its delivery routing. Messages with binary or html attachments are additionally filtered by many engines or individual recipients as potentially including malware. Certain phrases or links in subject lines or message bodies can also trigger a high-probability spam ranking, but I haven't noticed your messages as being of this sort. If enough Yahoo! subscribers reported your messages as spam, the "people made in america" phrase could become a SpamGuard trigger, but I expect that your email address would become an automatic Yahoo! spam trigger long before any such phrase in a message body would. Yahoo! subscribers going through their bulk mail folders and reporting your messages as NOT spam after SpamGuard filtering would offset the Yahoo! subscribers reporting spam. Some other anti-spam engines and whitelists work similarly. --Terry Goodman
