RE: [IMail Forum] Help with listing on ORDB.org !!!

[Don Kiiskila]

(chuckles) Guess I was being a blowhard and Outlook couldn’t take it.   I know what you mean though, I hate it when you get the complainers that just *happen* to be VIP in the company, where they are non-technology people in general and make your life suffer immensely. I’ve been at the butt-end of exactly what you are describing before, which is why we even switched to Imail.  Exchange is too cost-prohibitive for smaller companies.     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wes Odneal Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 4:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Help with listing on ORDB.org !!!   Amen to that.  I do agree with you on almost all points.  My personal mail server is very tight, opposed to company mail server that demands so much more attention.   The facts are RFC is here.  People use RFC.  And mail customers, at least mine, just don’t get all of it.  So the minute you walk into work, all of a sudden you have to change your perspective on spam.  The system does need revamping.  And until it does, I have to answer phones and emails to explain to customers what happened to their 1 good email that was blocked for some reason, while they have no idea how many bad emails also got blocked.  You almost have to act like their parent and hold their hand.  If they don’t get their way, then they will complain to no end and THEN leave.  And for a good reason too.  Our customers are mostly not tech related in any sort or way.  The attitude of “just make it work and don’t break it” presides everywhere.  Therefore it is not my place to be non compliant with org, as long as it doesn’t interfere with another.   My 2 cents.   Don: nicely stated. Side note- your last message was filtered by Outlook as Junk Mail ;) Thanks, Wes Odneal From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don Kiiskila Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 3:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Help with listing on ORDB.org !!!   You make a very interesting argument, but as far as the customer is concerned, I’ll cross that bridge if I ever come to it.  I *do* allow null sender on my company’s server for the specific reason I gave in my previous response.  I agree in principle and personal practice at home with the sentiment of looking out for #1.
