[AT] Corrupted E-mail

[charlie hill]

In my case my ISP apparently caught the problem early on.
The only problem is that they didn't notify me.  They just shut
down my e-mail.  I'm on a DSL line with the tel-co and it took
me forever trying to get a warm body in online chat or live on
the phone.  Once I finally accomplished that the problem was
fixed in a couple of minutes.

If any of you got spammed because of my account I'm sorry.

Charlie

All is good. My spam service got all of them, I did not need to block your 
email address, as you can tell since you were able to post.

I replied on-list just as a reminder to everyone that I have a pretty good 
spam service scanning all emails coming in.   It is very good at not 
creating any false positives.   However, if you have trouble posting, it may 
be because the spam service is blocking it.

If that happens, it may have nothing to do with the specifics of your 
message.   It may be because your ISP mail sever is known to have been 
compromised, the IP address of your cable/DSL modem is in a range of 
addresses that is currently a source of spam, or other reasons.  Even though 
this did not happen to Charlie in this case, it is nonetheless a possibility 
for anyone with a compromised account or ISP.

Just email me through a newly created gmail/yahoo account if this begins to 
happen to you.

Hope this helps,

Spencer
