This malpractice has been ongoing for some time now, and they seem to have a problem with their spelling of the word "centre", preferring to use the American-English 'er' ending of it. In one message, I was referred to as 'valued subscriber', congratulated for my decision to upgrade to webmail eircom (whatever that is), and warned that if I didn't reply withint 24 hours, I would be deleted from their 'account', followed by, on the one line: "thanks, management". Prior to this threatening series, I had to change my eircom password, due to what can be best termed a tsunami of spam, in various languages, South American Spanish being one of them. So, yes indeed, I know right well what you're talking about there, as some genuine e-spondence was being blocked by this so-called spam protector.
