ratzen fratzen ISP.

they install a spam-blocker, don't tell anyone, and set the thing so high that numerous legit messages (including the knitlist) are blocked.

I only found this out after a phone call to them. And then the guy tried to claim that it wasn't them, that they installed the spam blocker "like a month ago" (uh-huh, then why was I still getting "buy vic*din online" and "enlarge your manhood" ads till just a few days ago?).

He's trying to fix it now. If he doesn't fix it, I may well find myself a different ISP.

this is really ticking me off. this has been such an awful awful week so far, and I can't even have the respite of reading the email lists. it's like, what more is going to go wrong?
