Exactly Chris. And Richard Keir spelled it out pretty clearly on April 6th too. We are looking at this problem the wrong way. The problem doesn't lie with the auto responders, it's the ISPs that are to blaim. What right do they have to be censoring our e-mail, especially when your paying $45 or more a month. My suggestion is to dump them like a hot potatoe.
If the ISPs are going to block e-mail then let us go to a quarentine bin to retrieve the good e-mail that their spam filters mistakenly catch. This is not rocket science, a newby could learn how to retrieve their good e-mail from a quarantine bin.
I'm starting to wonder whether or not it's the companys that sell the spam blockers to the ISPs that are sending most of this spam. The majority of spam through out the world is coming from the U.S.A. My sister's ISP added a spam filter with a quarantine bin. She says she is receiving a lot more spam now into her quarantine bin than what she received before the spam filters were added.
I got so sick and tired of arguing with my cable ISP I signed up to a dial-up service on Feb. 24 just for their e-mail accounts. From Feb. 24 until April 6 I received a grand total of only 5 spam e-mails. If you use your personal e-mail address responsibly then you just don't receive much spam. But on April 6 the dial-up service added one of the major spam filters and all my good e-mail stopped dead.
This dial-up ISP got so many complaints in their forum, just last week they started to allow their customers to filter their own e-mail and added a quarantine bin. Now I'm receiving all of my e-mail again. It's nice when a company listens to their customers.
This ISP;
- is available in the US and Canada.
- the e-mail accounts are world wide.
- 1 800 tech support in the US.
- is a business opportunity.
- you get ten unlimited space web based e-mail accounts.
- the e-mail accounts can be web based or pop accounts.
- allows you to purchase the e-mail accounts and business opportunity without the ISP service.
- with the GoFast download customers are logging on at up to 115 KB/sec.
- the monthly cost is less than what most ISPs charge.I realize this will not solve the problem immediately but if enough people moved to an ISP that allows there customers to filter their own e-mail then the large ISPs would have to take notice. I can show you how to adjust one of these accounts so you recieve ALL your e-mail.
