The reason you get no spam is because they are summarily blacklisting any domain from which it originates. IOW, someone, sometime, has sent a piece of e-mail from knology.net that they have classified as spam. Now, the entire domain is barred from their mail servers.
BTW, you are relying entirely on *their* definition of spam. And because of their broad brush approach that discriminates on the basis of origin, Bernie's e-mail is lumped into that category.
Yeah, it keeps down the spam, but what else are you not receiving?
As painful as it may be, the only way to be sure you're getting what you want is to take charge of your own mailbox.
JMHO, of course, and probably worth half what I charge for it.

I changed to a ISP run by a small rural school and now I get NONE. The students run it and I think they do a good job. This is the first time that I know of the I haven't receive legitimate email. Maybe somebody could forward the information from Bernie to me. df
