Those are often similar enough to spam to be difficult to distinguish from actual spam. For one particular (in)famous social network I solved it by activating encrypted notifications[2]. [1] That I know of, of course. ;) [2] Was positively surprised to learn they offer this. Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser signature.asc Description: PGP signature

While protonmail might be used for such situations, in my experience most protonmail users I've seen are just people that are sufficiently technically aware to know that they should stay away from gmail and friends and look for a quality email provider (posteo being another popular provider in that space). So, my own bias would rather tend to expect good behavior (good questions and good answers) from participants posting from protonmail ;-) Stefan
Re: [OFFTOPIC] Re: mail service
just one more thing posteo was mentioned as an alternative i have a posteo account i will drop in a few months their spam policy is to bounce it back to the sender the account own has no say i also have a mailfence account i will drop a while back i stopped getting mail from my bank i investigated and found the bank mail was generating a false positive virus i informed mailfence and they agreed it was probably the cause of my trouble but they didn't bother to fix it several months later they started passing mail from my bank some times you have to kiss a lot of frogs
