Oh, I'll fully agree with that. The problem isn't doing it the
right way. The problem is the end users who don't. Think of it this
way. Techs want results. End users want eye candy and the "ooo's and
aaaahhh's" treatment when reading mail. To them email isn't a tool, but an
entertainment form. Or at least it seems that way. I've had customers who
will actually bite your head off if you don't give them their spam. Go
figure that one out. I guess it's a balance between what will keep out the
bad spam and what will piss off every customer you have. And believe me,
the line between the too is way too bloody thin. I wish end users would
get over the "AOL syndrome" and start checking into reality. Sorry if that
sounded a bit brash, but I'm tired of users complaining about how you're
not doing enough to block the spam on their email accounts, then do
everything in their power to make sure you can't. -_-;;
Sorry for the rant. Bad day at work. heh. ^_^;;
