Sorry, but curmudgeon, yes. :) Email as a communication medium would be useless to the average person without antispam filters. The protocol has a fatal security flaw that opens a door to spammers and cannot be closed, so active filtering is necessary. That too is flawed -- false positives and negatives occur -- so is an imperfect solution, but it's better than nothing. You could just switch to using Facebook for all your messaging needs. Heh! :) BTW, you won't find any email services that don't do anti-spam by default. Hotmail, Yahoo, they all do it. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
