I am in a fight right now with my ISP (RCN/starpower). They have taken it upon themselves to add *Possible Junk Mail* to the subject line of mail sent to me. Friends and family would be upset I think <smirk>. One friend had mail returned to her telling her it was spam and it was therefore not delivered to me. I have demanded that they remove my address from their "spam filters" and they informed me today "Engineers are diligently working to develop an option to opt-out of the spam filter for subscribers who do not wish to utilize the tool. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you."
I think the efforts to control spam has driven the servers mad. I use K9, it is 99.8% successful in sending spam to spam folders for trashing (some send it directly to trash, I like the ability to review it) and I want the ISP off my back. I am complaining a LOT to my server. I will vote with my feet if I have to.
