Call it a minor nuisance.
Similarly. I've been running my own mailserver for personal, family and club domains (including a mailing list of several hundred at one point) for 20 years or so. In the early days, there were no problems; nowadays if I change server (I run one primary and two backups, changin the provider only if one goes bust or becomes useless, so changes are rare) I have to go through Microsoft's hoops (and t-online, but they're more trouble than it's worth usually), but I haven't run into my problem. One of my users forwards all their mail to gmail, including the spam, so sometimes I get rate-limited by gmail, but who cares. (Unlike most people on this list, I do not think it is a provider's job to censor people's email. Users should be able to see their spam if they wish. I'm slightly curious about spam volumes - in my incoming personal mail, last time I checked about 75% of it was spam. Is that typical, or very low?) _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
