Hi All,
I've just disabled my YahooXtra anti spam filter. It's just too dumb
altogether!! Dangerously so, because it decided that a very important
renewal notice from Bluehost - our website hosts - was spam and would
have held it for a month and then completely disposed of it! It is
also not above marking as spam replies from people that I myself sent
mail to in the first place!
I'm too Scottish to sign up to Death2Spam (sorry Jason) so it looks
like I'll need to filter out all genuine rubbish myself. However, I'm
using Mozilla Thunderbird, which has pretty good filters built into
it, which I can tune (and, Bonny Lads and Lasses: ITS FRRREE!).
Regards,
McWayne
