[governance] Re: Antispam practices

[Peter Dambier]

I dont think it is a good idea to use the mailer of my isp.

First I could not even use it because they would not support Linux.
That is some time ago.

Next I needed to access my email both from work and home. My ISP
would not do that either.

And then I urgently needed to access my email from overseas. No
way.

Next, after moving I wont be able to access the mailer of my
ISP any longer. I am glad I never used it in the first place.

Ok, and what about my competitian telling my ISP I had stolen
some music and they urgently needed to look into my emails?

That is why I shall never use somebody elses mailer, but only
my own here in my room.

Interestingly enough there are people arround who cannot be
reached except with your own personal mailer, even if it is
on a dynamic IP-address.

Kind regards
Peter and Karin
