SPAM false-positives can be rude
Software July 3rd, 2003
This is the unfortunate result of the “every growing uphill battle with SPAM”, but apparently an email to me from Anders Jacobsen was rejected due to some of the drastic, but efficient, measures John has been applying to the server.
Anders brings up some interesting points, in that the automated rejection notices, from legitimate senders, present themselves as bad-mannered netiquette that penetrates the social fabric of the online world.
As I said in my response to Anders, “SPAM has effectively transformed an efficient means of communication into a bastion of nonsense.”
Blah! I’m going home!

No worries, Steve; no offense taken… I think I was just intrigued why I’d been blocked…
Looks like converseing via blog comments will be our best bet until we bother implementing email challenge/response mechanisms and white-lists to limit the daily inbox-flooding…
Sad but true; these spamming bastards have to a large extent ruined the once useful tool of email…
