[Fot] Test

[Mark Cook]

Phil - even your most recent email was trapped in my Gmail spam folder.

Like I mentioned earlier in my email below, the older servers such as AOL,
Mindspring, and Earthlink may add to the issues, in combination with
FOT security protocol.  That is why I set up an Gmail email account which I
use only for FOT emails.  Some of those still go to Spam, but at least  all
of my emails to FOT are now making it out.  Under Mindspring (Earthlink),
I  did not receive any FOT emails after a period of time.  Earthlink was
blocking all of them (not even sending them to spam).

I do not have any problems with any other email list (whether
under Mindspring or Gmail), so there may be an issue with the FOT list
security protocol or maybe pushing forward one from the originating sender,
which even Gmail is picking up.  It was suggested to me by a friend in IT
that some standard authentication protocols like SPF, DKIM, or DMARC may be
missing.  According to my inbox, incoming emails from FOT do not use TLS.
 I do not know enough about those to explain them.
