§%$!& email!

Apparently in recent weeks my mailer has been losing mails, both incoming and outgoing, in many cases without bothering to send bounce messages. (Perhaps to make up for that, it sometimes sends bounce messages even when the mail got through.) Anyway, if anyone has mailed me and never got a reply: it's not me being bitchy, it's Citykom.

I got both, the email and the comment notification. I have no idea why it told you the mail bounced. That's happened at least one more time.

It's the bloody spam, that's the problem. It's ruining email. Providers get so paranoid that they start filtering and bouncing every other mail. Heard an executive say, if this gets worse we'll have to go back to fax and phone. ;p

I hope that, rather than doing that, they'll finally change the laws and make spamming properly illegal. Couple of juicy fines, couple of months behind bars, problem solved.
