Re: The doctor analogy
I don't agree with this at all. It just seems like another revenue stream. And what happens if my agency's emails were being blocked by these filters? Does it take longer to prove that I'm not a spammer or to pay the fee? In the above case, my agency may need to send emails quickly. If they call one of these ISPs, will the rep be faster to say "I'll take you out of the filter right now" or "Well, if you just pay the fee I can pass your emails through now. Otherwise it'll take 4-6 weeks to investigate and resolve this"? I find nothing good about it. |

| Well, if these ISPs were working for the customers they would have a real system in tact for people to contact to let them know that their spam filters are producing a false positive and let them investigate. Because customer satisfaction is low on the todo list they resort to "just pay us some money and we'll clear it, regardless of what it is." |

| Exactly. If my email landed in a client's junk box, they would probably sit there all day long checking the inbox and cursing my name for letting them down. Most people people won't go through the trouble of calling their ISPs and even if they do, it'll probably be passed along to nobody. |
