Its crap like this article that keep ISPs from even telling users they have the ability to use SA!!! I've seen major ISPs never tell there customers unless they ask for some antispam software. ISPs definetley have to handle spam differently then companies. In a company, it is OUR email. We control it, not the users. Company policy dictates we can do anything we want with the email. This is made clear to the employees, that there is no "perceived privacy" in company email. With that, we don't go reading peoples' email. We simply tag it, but I do view the spamtrap. And as such, I may view an FP. An ISP admin can't go doing that. SA rule writers are definetly trying to keep ISPs in mind when writing rules. As far as an ad goes....wouldn't you have to sell something to be truely an ad? :) --Chris ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
