Well, I think that the entire spam wars situation is getting gross. The Spam was bad enough and I HATE it, but now ISPs are starting use measures which cause collateral damage, while I seem to be able to filter spam better than they do. Pointing out that they are failing to deliver legitimate e-mails to me falls on deaf ears. They like the fact that blocking e-mails without examining them, only the ip address of the server they are coming from reduces the load on their servers.
Anyway, I can see how doing this in Evo might be difficult. I was thinking that perhaps a field could be added to a contact entry which selected your email account based on who you were sending to. Or perhaps through a new? rule like a filter or vfolder. By the way, it was attempting to sign up for this very list which drove me to setting up a mail account outside of my isps filtering. I tried for two days to sign up, and never got the confirmation message. Then it dawned on me that my isp might be blocking the ximian mail server, so I set up the alternate account, signed up with that one and got the confirmation message almost instantly. I don't know what RBL this list is on, I checked Spamcop which is the one I've had problems with my ISP bouncing message from yahoo groups, but your server wasn't there. I guess my ISP is using multiples, and you're on another one. On Thu, 2004-02-26 at 15:36, Jeffrey Stedfast wrote: > This is simply starting to get gross.
