It seems so.
At my ISP (PlusNet) I have always had "Spam Filtering" set on, the default setting. A note beside this reads:
With spam filtering turned on, emails sent from mailservers with a bad SenderBase reputation will be rejected and bounced back to the sender. Emails that pass this first check are scanned and given a spam rating. What happens then depends on the settings which follow.
This first check seems to be handled by the folk at:
http://www.cloudmark.com/The notes then say:
Email that passes this first check is scanned and given a spam rating. What happens next depends on the settings you choose on the Spam tab in Manage My Mail.
In my case these are all the defaults and should place suspect mail in the Spam folder, of my ISP's webmail service with a [SPAM -] tag to the subject line. My Spam folder remains empty. So it seems that Nabble addresses are currently have a "bad SenderBase reputation" according to CloudMark and as this is new behaviour for me I guess is a recent change in status.
It seems I can white list mail addresses but this only seems to apply to the second stage. As Nabble mail fails the first CloudMark check, it seems all I can do is turn that off.
I guess this explains why two of my neighbours (customers of BTInternet and AOL) who subscribe to the HorseBarns mail list have reported either not getting mail from the list or that their ISP prefixes it spam. If Nabble are unable to get the CloudMark rating improved, I guess my only solution is to move my subscriptions to alternative email providers that are more accommodating, as I am not keen on lifting my ISP's spam filtering - but then I have good reasons for using the subscription addresses I use (a "seahawk17" address for my SeaHawk forum and a "horsebarns" address for the Horse Barns mail list.).
