Re: about addresses and spam block

OK. Now the ISP is the middle part, right? Like yours is bellsouth? As I
mentioned to Georgia, it's hard to imagine the major carrier in Alaska
getting marked as spam. And at the same time, Alaska's small population
should show up that heavily on the spam radar either.

I had just sent a message to Sarajane from her website. And that may have
more protection just because of the public nature of websites. And no, I'm
quite sure I wasn't rejected by her, nor did I give up. I just switched to
my Yahoo address. The one commonly known to the public (newsgroups, etc).

I'm just curious about the general subject.
