This has been happening to me on both of the e-mail servers I use (gmail.com and stanford.edu). Originally, about a quarter of the mail to Lingtyp (I *think* just the mailings of calls for papers, open positions, conference programs, and the like) were shunted
to my junk mailbox. I then had to move them to my inbox -- training the bot not to junk them in the first place -- and then delete them there after I'd read them. Things have gradually improved, but some Lingtyp mailings still get sent there. I don't know
know what the bots are detecting, but the behavior is very annoying.<br>
