This is going to be a controversial subject I am sure. I for one am grateful for this filtering service. I enjoy having no commercial spam from my Mac.com email. I still get those annoying "pass on to your friends" spam from friends, but I have my own filters set up to automatically delete and reply to them to quit sending me BS email like that. I also have been victim to this. Every now and then I get one of those messages from this subscription server that says my email was bounced. Even with the most high level of spam filtering in my hotmail account, I still get as many as 20 spam emails a day there. I deplore spam so much, that I am satisfied to have a couple bounced messages to me. I also have some level of protection against this bounced email: everyone that means anything to me, or anyone I desperately want something from, knows to send my email to two of my accounts (one Mac.com and another my Army account) just to make sure I get it, and I have always received it from both accounts. My opinion? Let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater. Walt -- Oh! Sorry, I thought that was a Braille name tag. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
