Jesus christ what a mess.

And marketers say pitches that their customers expressly requested get lost in the shuffle

That's the truth. I got blacklisted by SpamCop once. Took all sorts of threats to get off of it.
3 complaints, all anonymous, all from the same person and from that they blacklisted me.
If this crap keeps up, the only people using email with be the spammers. Everyone else will just use instant messengers or something.

Hi Mike. Yeah, it has gotten to the point I hate opening my email. Thank goodness for MailWasher. At least if I'm going to get spam I can put it on my own blacklist without it gumming up my mailbox. I guess I shouldn't complain...I don't get 1/5 of what most people do and successfully get mail servers and providers to put a stop to most of it when I do. I also am very careful with email-one account for personal mail, one for business, one for official business, one for SAF, one for junk and one general purpose.

Me too. I love Mailwasher. They're about to start an affiliate program and I'm looking into it.

Yes, I wish I had a website. That is one program that I would be proud to feature.
