Same.
The day when email becomes fee-based (mandated) will be the day that another protocol for message exchange is necessitated.

Supposedly this paid SPAM will be allowed to bypass the filters. This of course will put pressure on someone, either Yahoo or the sender, to abide by the CAN-SPAM act. Perhaps the paid SPAM will have a true Opt Out link that works. If not then Yahoo or AOL will be putting the nails on their own coffins. |

This will actually help the spammers. Since more legitimate commercial email will go to your junk folder, you will have to examine those emails more critically.

Although, how many true business mails does an AOL or Yahoo member receive per year. Precious few. Seems to me this is going to cost more to pay goodmail than they'll get in revenue! |
