Re: Switch the List! (was: Re: Mad)

[Paul Stenquist]

I rarely miss a message using my normal mail services. When I've tried 
other mailers with more spam control, I sometimes miss a lot of 
messages. I think certain words will trigger some overly sensitive 
filters -- for sale, bargain, etc.

FWIW, Frank, I've been receiving every post as well. I'm using with a
server-for-hire that I control, and I've carefully set up its spam 
detection
software.

I would be nice to get a more coherent picture of the problems faced 
by some
folks on the list. I suspect that the problems can be traced back to 
sys
admins trying to stem the flood of spam they receive. At work, I'm 
faced
with spam eating up about 90% of my employer's SMTP traffic. That's a 
real
threat to people's productivity, so I'm trying to strike a balance 
between
blocking the spam but allowing the legit email to get delivered. 
Sometimes
the good stuff gets blocked. :(
