Verizon has finally decided to fight spam. And how might you ask. They have decided to block ALL EMAIL DOMAINS. What idiots. |

| It's happening here too: people trying to send me e-mail from various other ISPs were getting a bounceback message to that same effect all day yesterday. Some of their e-mails did make it to me eventually; some as yet have not, and likely never will.
Ironically, while I was busy NOT receiving e-mails that I should have been getting, a number of spam e-mails DID get through to me.
Bravo, Verizon! |

| reply to Done Deal I'm not failing to get ALL emails, but a number of emails have failed to come through, including confirmations for site registrations for several sites.

| reply to Done Deal ya know, why can't they just put whatever in the bulk/spam folder? I'd rather have to delete a bunch of junk than lose things I WANTED! -- When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross."-Sinclair Lewis 1885-1951 |
