Very well said. A very valid point. How many snail mail recipients do you know that are at the post office every morning demanding to see the postmaster? Telling them that they are getting to much spam/junk snail mail. What would they say if it was being filtered reguardless of content or weighting if FP's were not being delivered? Especially if your mortgage company forclosed on your home because some snail mail admin. blocked your mortgage bill and then said sorry you signed an option to opt in or out....whoops..to bad so sad..:) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Lewis-Waller Sent: Friday, August 15, 2003 10:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Anyone have any experiences with Postini ? >Is that fact that if an IMGate machine uses the ORDB test to block mail (or RFC Ignorant, etc), 1 test, not a weight, it isn't a false positive. The sender is actually in ORDB (whether they know it or not, and whether the e-mail attempted to be sent was legit or not). In my eyes that is not a false positive. Sure they may be upset that their e-mail didn't get delivered, but they should direct that anger at the sending mail servers admin for not knowing what they are doing (most cases). It is a false postive if the recipient expects to be able to receive mail from the sender. It means that a test is being employed that is not trust worthy. You're looking at it from the admin point of view (that's not a criticism) and not from the recipients point of view. Mail admins should/must take on the resposibility of handling other email in the same way the postoffice are obliged to deliver smail mail even if they know it just a pile of junk mail. In most countries unless it actually endangers property or life then the post office is obliged by law to deliver all mail regardless of content or where it comes from. Are we so different?
