What is "group posting settings" in Yahoo Groups, and how do I change it for when I post?

One group I belong to said they have to keep fishing my posts out of the spam folder b'cuz it says I'm using "group posting settings" & they don't even know what that is. They have used a filter to make sure my posts go through, so I'm okay there now. I've been a member there (used to be different site before yahoogroups came into existence) for over 10 years, including before it was moved to YG.

However, if there's a setting that I can change, I'd like to do it. Searched but couldn't find ans.

Also, recently I got two IM msgs saying they were from Yahoo, & that there were "numerous complaints" that I spammed both groups and chat, bt I never do that! I've been with the same group 10 years, & the only chat I was on recently had some technical problems; the group had to try 4 different chat sites before they found one that worked for most people.

So--

Help, please. Apparently I just need to adjust some setting somewhere, but what setting and where is it? THANKS!

.

Update:

Thanks MotherNature. I wrote to Yahoo when I got those two IM messages 'cause I thought maybe it was a joke, but all I got so far was a Yahoo form letter saying they would check into the problem and get back to me. Haven't heard anything yet. That was a few days ago.

    Only the group owners and/or moderators can modify "group postings settings" Its done in the Management section.

    I would think this is one of them infamous glitches, and your eMail provider OR your ISP is being directed to the SPAM folder =(

    The Moderator needs to send a note to Yahoo!

    Other than that i'm afraid its simply a test of patience.

    what's humorous is that i tried posting my "what's occurring?" question to the Yahoo crew Managers communicate board (a Yahoo crew) and that i have been on condition that similar blunders 999 message. i have contacted Yahoo (no longer by a Yahoo crew, for sure) and thus far have not gained a reaction. that is definitely perplexing to no longer take care of to placed up in a unmarried's personal crew. The very last message revealed in my crew become 8/22/2012 at 9:17 p.m. Carol
