[Dixielandjazz] ISPs

[Richard Stevens]

Hi All,
(providing I am not blocked by your spam mail filter)

Rather than block the mail from individual servers I recommend use of the
spam filter in "Office 2003" I tried a lot of filters in the past but I have
good results now. It is important to update the program every so often to
include new spammers or you can set it to automatically do this. Every few
days I delete the spam after checking to see if one got diagnosed wrongly. I
collect mail from four different servers and I don't think blocking a server
is very productive. 

Still, I know of one lapsed member of this list who gets upset if you send
emails with the thread still attached. He reckons it clogs up his computer!
In these days of 120 gig hard drives and programs which hog resources what
difference does a few bytes make!
Jazz Content....... My two computers have over 10 gigs of jazz mp3s apiece.

My entire saved email file for the last 2 years only amounts to 130 meg.

regards,
Richard Stevens

To which Jim O'Briant replied :

"Tito, that may be because your ISP, [ terra.com.br ], is notorious around
the world for harboring spammers and allowing spammers to send or relay
messages, unrestricted, through their servers.  My ISP also trapped your
message as spam, solely because it blocks all email from [ terra.com.br ]".

A few days ago I received a message from somebody, his ISP is lafn (which
apparently means Los Angeles something-or-other). My reply to him was
blocked with an accompanying comment that his ISP did not like mine, so as I
was anxious to  get my reply to my correspondent I asked several friends
(with different ISPs) to forward it to him.

Nobody has yet succeeded in doing so, all messages to that ISP bounce. Is
there any solution to annoying problems like this without resorting to snail
mail?
