My incoming E-Mails are being rejected by some 'filter' that the ISP

(I placed the x's to not give the address.)
My wireless ISP Provider says w/o that 'service' they'd get millions of
spams
a day.
I don't like this however...who are they to be selecting what I can
receive or not.
I'd rather my SM Spam filter be working (which I can control).
Is this practice becoming the norm ?
I don't want to have to obtain a second phone line ISP just to get my
E-Mail w/o
it being filtered. The Tech rep is becoming truculent about it - like
"go somewhere else then!"
I have many people tell me (pissed off) that they cannot get thru to me !
I teach and my students have to be able to E-Nail me.
I might even miss that message telling me I just won the Lottery. lol.

It looks like you're using NOEL-COMMUNICATIONS-INC
Verizon also has spam blockers which you can turn off through their web
site (you must be a registered user). You can even set up, again in the
web page, options to block senders or isps or selectively allow mail
from individual senders or isps. Works pretty good.
If your server doesn't give you a similar option I would look for a new
isp with which to do business.
