[NFB-Web] Help with mailman?

[Littlefield, Tyler]

When you run mailing lists for multiple users, you don't get to say 
"deal with this yourself," especially if the email isn't even hitting 
their junk folder. There are solutions to be done server side to ease 
the pain for everyone involved, and then it's a question of taking care 
of the end-users still affected.

My salary really doesn’t cover work on that scale, 😊 especially if there’s a server side solution that could significantly reduce the false positive rate.

> Hi, I’m working on some web projects for Canadian Federation of the Blind.  We are having major issues with mailman communication apparently being regarded as spam.  Some addresses can not be subscribed fully because they will not even allow mailman’s confirmation email as far as the spam or junk folder.  Others can subscribe, but find as many as 2/3 of list emails redirected to spam or junk.  Are there any settings I can look for in mailman that could make us look less junky, or is it time to migrate our entire email communication to groups.io?
