[chadfree] Re: Spam filters grrrrrrrrrrrr

There should be some place where you could moderate the filter, all ISPs ,
well most, have this feature.  True you have to log into the mail on the
web, but still it is an option.  Comcast had a filter, I didn't like it
because it was emptied daily so if I forgot to check it was too bad.  I will
admit all I ever saw there was really spam.  My SBC DSL has the option to
send everything to my pop account.  I like that a lot better.
Spam & Spyware, what a mess! I just wonder what the average (uneducated)
computer user's pc looks like? Scary! And all of them being used to send out
more virus and spam.

Subject: [chadfree] Spam filters grrrrrrrrrrrr


Right now I'm ripping mad, like you were the other day, Mac....cuz all of a
sudden, my spam dropped from 300 a day to about 20 a day...now I know some
would see that as a good thing, but it immediately alerted me that Hostway
had turned on some spam filter WITHOUT ASKING OR TELLING ME....and THAT
pisses me off...so I wrote to them and told them my suspicion and they
confirmed it...I asked where I could go to moderate this filter...they said
they would have to escalate my question to second level support since they
didn't think this was possible...I wrote back:

"Either you tell me how I can control this filter or you turn it off.
Otherwise I WILL find a new domain host.  If anyone filters my mail, it will
be ME and me alone."

How dare they? This is censorship!!  Not to mention I know how stupid some
of these filters are and I can NOT risk not receiving mail from some
companies/clients/potential income.
