LifeSiteNews.com and Other Innocent Emailers Hurt by Overly Aggressive Anti-Spam Measures
LifeSiteNews.com, May 3, 2004 - While the tiny number of businesses known to be sending most unsolicited junk email (spam) through the Internet are strangely still escaping penalties, shotgun approach anti-spam measures implemented by Internet service providers are making life difficult for innocent emailers.
LifeSiteNews.com experienced serious problems three times last week, on the 27th, 29th and 30th of April, after automated anti-spam measures incorrectly placed LifeSiteNews.com's subscriber-based news service in the category of spam. As well, LifeSiteNews.com is having more email stopped by automated anti-spam systems in place at subscribers' Internet service providers. Other organizations are experiencing the same problem.
We are taking measures to hopefully prevent this from happening again in the future. In the meantime we strongly encourage our subscribers to assist us.
If you
1. change your email address,
2. cannot receive email for an extended period of time or
3. no longer wish to receive the Daily News
PLEASE use the address change or unsubscribe procedure as follows and which is at the bottom of every Daily News or Special Report email.
Subscribe - http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/subscribe/
Unsubscribe- http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/unsubscribe/
Address Changes - Please unsubscribe and resubscribe
If your ISP is blocking LifeSiteNews.com emails you must notify the ISP that you are a subscriber to our emails and want to receive them.
If you are using a free email service but regularly allow your email inbox to become full, PLEASE do not subscribe to LifeSiteNews.com. We receive a large amount of returned email each day from addresses of subscribers who regularly allow their email in boxes to reach their limit. The rejected emails, and automatic repeat attempts to send again unnecessarily overload our systems.
Lastly, all LifeSiteNews.com readers should encourage Internet companies and government authorities to get serious about charging and punishing the mass spammers. They are choking the Internet and creating billions of dollars of expenses for others with their porn, Viagra, cheap drugs, get rich quick and other objectionable emails.
