[BC] If you wonder why email is getting worse

[Al Stewart]

I have at least a couple of newsletters that keep getting blocked by Spamcop. And then they come for awhile, and again they're blocked. I had it blocking a whole series of associates in Europe for some reason. The problem Spamcop is being used by one of my ISPs ... I don't have access to spamcop settings. ... I finally have had to switch some items and contacts over to a different address for the time being. That ISP won't answer any questions about the situation. Very frustrating.

Also I have no way of knowing if other legitimate emails are being blocked unless I happen to get a phone call from someone or a snail mail to complain that I have "changed my email address without telling them" :-)

Even with spamcop being so "great" it still let's through about 30 spam a day, and spam with viruses attached.
