[access-uk] Re: Recent anti-spam measures by Plusnet

Sounds like a great idea.  The server already have your emails, so sending 
them back won't make any difference.  I hope my ISP take up this scheme.

Subject: [access-uk] Recent anti-spam measures by Plusnet


This is for information as much as anything else.
Those who use Plusnet email will have noticed many, if not most messages, 
being prefixed
with (spam).  Seems as I've discovered this is due to Plusnet's new 
anti-spam filtering
which has to be trained by email account holders.  More at:

(sorry about the wrapping URL.

Turns out you can train the filters by forwarding emails that aren't spam 
to:

notspam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

While email that is spam, but not marked as such can be forwarded to:

spam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Presume this is an entirely automatic process on the servers, but some might 
fear their
emails are gone through by a tech person, although I doubt it very much. 
Seems the last
thing Plusnet - and most other email providers want is work involving 
humans.

Would be interesting to hear if anyone elses's ISP is doing similar.

Also, I'll be looking to see if this post comes back marked as spam!
