  Whenever I try to post to the forum, I get a message that says my post will be posted after review.  I assume that is because I'm a new member (The only thing I've successfully posted was my introductory post, which was several months ago).  I've not seen any of my posts ever appear, even after weeks, which makes me think that perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

Any help will be appreciated.

Are you sending your email to aer...@westmont.edu , or are you using the Google Groups?
It may be that you're running into troubles because you have an account @yahoo.com , but I'm receiving your email OK.  
It does give me a warning, though, about it being a yahoo.com account.
If you're posting from the email address with which you subscribed, and the email is not over the size limit, and it's not being sent to more than 10 additional recipients, there's no reason your email should not go through.

Robert shows up as wanting to go directly to Spam for some odd reason. Thankfully my filter pulls it out of Spam so I can see it. I've attached a screenshot of what I see in gmail.
All the best,

Keith (and Robert)

Your screenshot replicates what I experience with anyone having a Yahoo or AOL email address. Something about Google not recognizing the security key as being trusted so they play it safe and route all to the SPAM box. I am able to select each in SPAM and say its OK to post and they appear in my email with all the other Champ and Chief pilots along with an occasional Sedan driver living in the desert.

True.  It would be better not to have a Yahoo or AOL email, but not everyone feels they have that luxury.

I have been using my gmail account for maybe 8 or 9  years.
I think in that time I have gotten maybe one or two spam messages.
The rest of them go straight to the spam folder which I check once in a great while.

My ISP kept changing names and getting bought out so I decided I would never go through that again about the third time I had to notify a long list of people and associations and businesses of my new email account.
I have been very happy with it. and haven't had to go through that again since.
