My old email service was bought out by Megapath who is letting alot of
services
slide.
My main issue is that my incoming email scripts follow the SMTP RFC's and if
the sender address isn't valid, then it's not a valid email that should be
forwarded.
My script simply check for the domain existing or not - if it doesn't exist,
then it rejects it. This causes about 100-200 messages a month that get
stuck in an IMAP queue waiting for download -- only to be downloaded and
rejected
due to the sender domain not existing.
The only response my ISP will give is to turn on their spam filtering.
I tried that.
In about a 2 hour time frame, over 400 messages were blocked as spam.
Of those less
than 10 were actually spam, the rest were from various lists.
So having them censoring my incoming mail isn't gonna work, but neither will
the reject the obvious invalid domain email.
I can't believe that they insist on forwarding SPAM to their users even
though they
know it is invalid and is spam.
Any ideas on how to get a cheapo-doesn't want to support anything ISP to
start
blocking all the garbage the pass on?
