Lesa,
There is no question that some ISPs are very zealous about filtering
what they consider to be spam. They also 'block' all mail from some
other ISPs and companies because those entities leave 'forwarding'
open...if I understood our ISP techs. As a consequence, my best friend
in CT cannot send me email directly from his normal email address
because my ISP has decided that Optonline (one of the biggest ISPs in
new england) is a forwarder of spam.
The problem with this kind of filtering is that you would never know
that someone legitimate is sending you mail since it's dumped at your
ISP.
Unfortunately, unless you can convince your ISP to pass this mail to
you, your only options are to change ISP or have your friend send mail
to you via some other source such as yahoo mail. In your case, you'd
have to as your member's ISP why they are filtering out your mail.

Greetings all!
If I may, I'd like to solicit some wisdom on spam.
First, I've run into some problems recently when sending MUG-related
emails to our members. Are some ISP's doing too much spam filtering??
(sigh) I mean really, if we can't trust our ISP's, then WHO, I ask
you, can we trust these days??!!! Hmm??? Seriously <grin>, any ideas
on how to handle this little annoyance would be greatly appreciated.
Second, how much email should we send out to our members per month?
Assuming they're getting it of course, do they perceive it as spam?
Inquiring minds want to know :)
Thanks so much!
