the cpanel controls only offer me raising or lowering the spam score and
whitelist or blacklist.
they did mention in a much previous email that i should turn on "dkim" but
i have no idea what or where it is. it's certainly not in my SA controls.
Axb suggested going with MX. I've certainly considered it. But I have two
problems with the decision: they're not making at all clear that it would
actually BE better, especially when they are saying, as an excuse about
spam in general "people change, technology changes", they're not offering
much of a guarantee. also, $1.25/month does sound like a bargain, but when
I realize that I've certainly costed them $$hundreds in all the time we've
spent talking about it, and probably other people in a similar situation,
why not just throw out SA and "upgrade" everyone?
If they aren't managing SA all that well, or at all, I could see spending
the $18/year as throwing money out the window and getting nowhere.
I dunno. Anyway, again, I was more curious to anyone's reaction about how
they view SA. I guess it's clear that they COULD manage it better but
they're refusing to do so.
