Subject: [FWDLK] mailing list suggestion
for users
Well, I just completed my weekly review of the SPAM folder that
my ISP
hosts on their SITE for holding messages until the user collects or
reads their email.
Several years ago a lot of e-mail services
increased the strengths of
their own SPAM filtering to catch a lot more of
the spam that is still
floating around out in the vast wasteland of the
internet. What I have
learned to do was to check the online prefiltering
that the ISP does for
me, and I have noticed that they catch a lot, almost
all the SPAM never
hits my incoming mail folders on my PC when my e-mail
client (software)
collects the waiting messages.
Here's the Gotcha
and the reason for this message.
Their SPAM filtering DOES
trap and prevent the delivering of some
valid traffic, So There are Valid
Messages in that SPAM folder that is
never sent down to me to read.
Mostly my mailing list traffic is
affected, but at odd times other
messages that it would have been nice
to get are trapped and therefore
never delivered to me. My ISP also
AUTOMATICALLY cleans out that SPAM
folder every 7 days so if I fail to
check it inside that time period,
those messages are lost to me forever
unless the original sender resends
the message and it makes thru the
online SPAM filtering
process.
With my particular ISP I have yet to locate the user ability
to fine
tune their filtering, hence the efforts to at least visit the
online
folder and the (for me) remote accessing of my email service at
least
once every 6 days or so, if I don't have a 'Senior moment' and
forget to
do so. With my provider, remote online accessing is the
ONLY way to
view the contents of the folder they filter out and prevent
being
delivered to my computer automatically as per my other valid message
traffic.
