- I've been testing anti-spam add-ons to my email server recently. I'm looking at spamassassin and a few others that are procmail based. The following story is an example of technology falling victim to poor business practice and very poor customer service. Ed Felten, spam-vigilante martyr. Ed "Tinkerer" Felten sent out a notice of his new blog to a mailing-list and got fingered as a spammer with the Lord-of-the-Flies crew at SpamCop, who blackballed his email address with no appeal, and as a consequence, his ISP shut down his account -- it was that or have their mail-relays on everyone's blacklist. |
