Hmmm just read an article where Earthlink and another larger ISP had their filters reject all sorts of mail in as well as out as being spam, but they supposedly had it fixed.
So much for believing a large ISP news releases eh? Go local young man!
Visto.com has a pert good free email too. Larger capacity and you used to be able to get ppl to sign under you and get even more space. (up to 40 megs)
