First, yes I know that I am cross posting both reflectors, I want to make sure everyone understands the adminsitrator's position on Spam filters
Spam filters are a wonderful thing EXCEpt on reflectors. You voluntarily subscribe to a reflector, then, literally, refuse to accept posts from said reflectors unless somebody else goes through a song & dance routine so that you can read their post?? I thin not Lucy. I am getting more than 20 requests a day from these spam filters to "susbcribe" the reflectors so that a person who subscribed to them in the first place can "read the mail" I am afraid not. If you use a Spam filter, great. I think they are the coming thing in spam fighting BUT!!! it's up to YOU to subscribe the reflector into your whitebook (I believe it's called), not me, not Urb, not Ron. Therefore, effective 4 weeks ago, I am unsubscribing anyone using a Spam filter that insists it is up to me to allow you, the voluntary subscriber to receive reflkector posts I am sure there are a few who feel that it isn't there job to make sure the get the posts they signed up for, but believe me, it is I have neither the time nor the patience to have to cut and pste and waste, in some cases, 10 minutes to signh up just one reflector only to have the message bounce since the reflector can't respond YES it's true, these bots are looking for answers from another bot..talk about your I, Robot!!! Anyway, sorry if your inconveninced into have to do this, but think about what I have to go through, and for the pittence I get paid The 3Y is still on...go get 'em mention my name 73, Steven - KF2TI Systems Administrator NJDXA DXR Reflector outgoing mail scanned with Norton's NAV2005 ---------------------------------------------------------- Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] THE DXR is sponsored by the North Jersey DX Association.
