I have Spamkiller on my PC because I get 100 to 200 spams a day.
Unfortunately it kills some valid mail every once in a while. A lot of
my clients are lawyers, and the legalese they always seem to have
appended to their emails trips the spamkiller.

I know there is a lawyer joke in there somewhere.

OT spam blockers and ebay have you experienced this???

2003-11-03 Thread Ann Sanfedele
I was annoyed enough when a REPLY to a friend on
earthlink got bounced as suspicious mail
(she wrote me but had not added me to her address
book)

When I hit reply to tell a customer who paid with
PAYPAL that I was mailing her stuff today
the mail bounced.  I was puzzled because I had
sent a notice she had won which didnt bounce.
turns out her PAYPAL account is at a different
address than her regular ebay account.  This
make no sense.  Has anyone else experienced this?

I get my domain (web site and email) hosted by a company called
Spamblocked.com. They use DNSBLs (DNS Block Lists) that have cut my spam
down to one or two per week (and my email address is all over the
place). One advantage of DNSBLs as opposed to user filters like
spamkiller is that they send a 550 reject message to the sender so if
it's legit, they'll *know* their message didn't get through and can take
appropriate action (send from a different email address or make a phone
call).
