Getting everything blocked ?

[Edward Cowling]

I called Demon today and they will now turn off all mail filtering.

Send an email to new...@demon.net

Give them your domain and ask them to turn off spam filtering.

I might hear from a few business contacts again now :-)

Make sure they turn off SPF as well - which stands for Sender Policy
Framework.

(and not for SPam Filtering, though you probably do need that off as
well if you have issues.)

Last year, when Demon were saying that SPF could not and would not be
turned off, I redirected my business e-mail address to a new free yahoo
account used only for that purpose, and added another pop3 collection to
my e-mail client. You can tell yahoo to allow inbox and spam folder to
be part of that pop3 collection to reduce risk of loss.

So now, business addressed to "..@mydoman.co.uk" arrives via yahoo but I
still send via demon, to have control of sender identity. As far as I
know nothing has been lost and I get very little spam. Others have done
the same thing using g-mail. The only downside is that very big
attachments sent to me sometimes bounce, but the sender gets a message
(unlike Demon SPF fails which just disappear with neither sender nor
receiver any the wiser.

I do have SPF turned off on Demon now, but as my other solution works I
have not gone back to the 'old' way - too many uncertainties.

Personal e-mail is still to a demon name, but long term objective is to
de-demonise altogether, fearing the next breakage when they change
external supplier to an elbonian server farm.

Hopefully Edward-same-surname-as-me will get sorted out by Demon, but if
not there are other answers.
