My posts are NOT getting accepted by the mailing list.

For some reason, my posts are not getting accepted my mailing list even
though I am a subscriber for more than 3 years now. Did anything change in
recent past? Do I need to subscribe to this list again?

Thanks Shawn. Actually some of my posts are still pending while others were
successfully accepted by mailing list. I never used HTML formatting.. but
hopefully I am not listed as a spammer

One of the most common reasons that email will get rejected by a mailing 
list is because it is in HTML format.  HTML email is automatically 
treated as potentially suspicious (given a higher spam score) by spam 
filtering software.  If you can switch to plain text format, you may 
find that it has an easier time getting through.

Also, there have been a lot of problems recently with homegrown spam 
filter solutions and email coming from gmail.  Google is apparently 
doing some unusual things and the rest of the world is having a hard 
time keeping up.  Because spamassassin is an apache project, it is 
likely that Apache uses spamassassin and other software in a homegrown 
filtering solution.

Thanks,
Shawn
