[access-uk] Re: BT Spam filtering nonsense

It's funny, this BT spam thing.

We have one BT email account, which neither of us has ever used because we have our own domain email accounts.

All of a sudden, we are getting spammed by people trying to sell us medicines online - mainly from the US. Now since we have never sent any email out from that account, and only BT have the details, how did the spammers get the email address? And more importantly, why is BT not blocking it as spam when it obviously is spam?

I am about to delete that email address altogether and see if it happens again. If it does, I will be taking it up with BT about them passing on email addresses without permission.

Cheers

Hello,

In the last three or four weeks I have suddenly been getting very few
messages from access-uk.

I spoke to Mo and he suggested this might be BT's over-zealous
spam-filtering, which is incredibly hard to turn off because the site is
not very accessible and the setting is buried deep, a bit like the
Vogon's planning application to demolish the Earth.

So I have unsubscribed from access-uk on BT and rejoined from my
raspberryvi account.

I am instantly getting stuff from the list again.

So if you're suddenly getting very little stuff from the list and you're
a BT customer, it's their fault.  Oh...of course...you probably won't
get this message.

Mike
