There is no goodby for spam, only viruses. I also don't use xBL or the
BSP xWL for guidance. The former paint with too broad a brush and the
latter will probably mean nothing. As for the news alerts, 'tain't
anything I can do about 'em any different now than if I catch them
when I make my own rounds on the news services. Of course, on that last
item Loren might think differently. Ebay has a special white formula
to be sure it is really from ebay. (If they outsource anything I am not
going to get it until I scan the spam folder.) The travel services
can be temporarily white listed when needed.
And that brings up a good issue for 3.0 or subsequent, temporary white
lists. It'd be nice to have a way to add something to the white lists
for a week or so and then revert to tossing it. (I do not trust people
to not send me email I do not want after a "business relationship is
established." Motley Fool routinely gets dumped on that score. It's
easier to dump the email than to risk even more spam if they do not
honor their privacy rules, whatever they are now. Of course, I won't
and don't report Macromedia or Real to the SpamCop-alikes. I make up
my own mind not other people's minds.)
