    We've been having a nightmare week here for sending and receiving email--apparently providers have recalibrated their filters in a knee-jerk reaction to Cyber Monday spammers, so now just about everything is landing in Spam folders.

    Anyone else having problems?

    Interesting but my Spam folder is still just filled with Pharmacy and Easy Loans.

    I've got the opposite problem, an Inbox full of "great deals" from companies that ought to be in the SPAM folder. Don't sign me up for your mailing list if you're only going to send garbage...

    (Present company excluded obviously, the GRM e-mails are a good example of how to do it right).

    Yay, thanks for the shout-out. Tom does our e-newsletters, and I think he does a really good job with them. Nice to see it getting noticed.

    Haven't seen squat on my own site, or in any of my personal emails.

    I have had a problem receiving PMs. Twice now. Talked to Tom about it, apparently it is caused by my provider, Comcast. No biggie, just an inconvenience.

    There have been two reports of PM trouble this week, both from Comcast users. The emails don't seem to appear in spam folders, either, so I'm confused on that one. Hope to find an answer soon...
