Emails not getting through...
Hi All.. For those of you having problems, I have some news. Yahoo, in their infinite stupidity, have gotten themselves listed by SpamCop again. SpamCop is a service which generally causes more problems that it is worth. Anyone not receiving this email should contact their ISP and enquire about getting SpamCop turned off for them.

Re: Emails not getting through...
Thanks Matt. That explains a lot. I've been going crazy trying to figure out what's been going on. Only today did I start to receive WAMUG email again.

SpamCop is a service which generally causes more problems that it is worth. Well, AFAIK SpamCop doesn't actually run any black-list. They have an automated process that allows you to notify network administrators that SPAM is coming from their network. They do this free of charge. In addition to that, they offer a filtered mailbox, which you can pay for, and you can deck out your whole organisation with filtered mail boxes if you like. So, I'm not quite sure how Yahoo [..] have gotten themselves listed by SpamCop. I use SpamCop almost daily, enjoy their service and have seriously been considering providing them with a donation. I'm not sure about paying for a mailbox service, because morally, I'm not quite convinced I should pay to stop email that is coming to me unsolicited, but I'm willing to consider a compromise where I help some talented programmers write cool mail-parsing software. On a side note, any ISP that condones SPAM needs to feel the brunt of public opinion - including Yahoo. If that means that Yahoo gets stomped on the toes, then I can't see too much wrong with that. Finally, an ISP can decide on their own if they pre-filter SPAM based on black-listing. If you don't like their pre-filter, then why not change ISP? There was a time when I disliked my ISP's decision to not filter SPAM, but now I understand and even agree. I can filter SPAM all by myself. However, I'd be very upset if my ISP got notification that a SPAMMER was operating on their network and they did nothing about it - but I'm pretty sure that's not the case...
