Emails going to spam folder in gmail

[Nigel Johnson]

My original email alias was from computer.org.  Then I got a mysterious
email saying that they were no longer going to offer computer.org email
aliases, so I switched to ieee.org. 

I had one site refuse to let me use my ieee.org email address to log on
since the initial request came from a google server!  He called it a
freemail account!

Strange world we live in!

cheers,

NIgel

IEEE member for 20+ years now - so I missed the computer society debacle
of which you speak.
