I am not talking about filtering locally, Don. I am talking about filtering at many mailservers across the internet. Denial of service attacks were abounding and something had to be done. I know that the amount of spam I was receiving dropped to almost nothing a couple of months back, and I am getting very little now, only one or two a day. I used to get about 100/day on this account.

Generally it is a good thing, but I think some of them went a little overboard on it and are trashing ordinary email as well.

I control my filtering and it is all off on this account since I set this account up for PDML traffic only.
It seems more that the list server gets too busy sometimes
to recieve mail from, or forward mail to, list subscribers.
(This could also be router overloads in between, but less likely.)
This happens to our servers on occasion (I work for an ISP),
that's always an indication that it's time to upgrade existing
servers or add another server to the cluster.

I think a lot of e-mail hits the bit buckets at ISP's due to overly aggressive SPAM filtering. Charter seems to be doing this. My webhost labels anything it thinks is SPAM as such and sends it along. I would guess I would miss fewer messages if I were to switch PDML over to there.

Thanks for the reminder, Steve, although there have been

numerous instances

here recently in which messages have not shown up on the list

at all, even

after a couple of days. Perhaps we need an analog version of

the internet

<LOL>
