People in the adult industry with INSANE spam protection on their servers.... - GoFuckYourself.com

Jace · 06-16-2007, 05:47 PM

what are you thinking?

you work in the adult industry, but yet I can't get a email to you from the xxxis.net address

I have NO spam filters on any server level, but it appears everyone else does

I am actually going to have to change domains because everyone seems to think having spam protection on the server level is a good idea in the porn industry

LOL.. I fucking hate it when i am trying to do business and email someone and their fucking spam protection kicks it back .. i get better access with my hotmail addy than my 5 company email .. ghey ....

Thanks for this post, it definately sucks and there is absolutely no need to do it on the server level. Other methods aren't less effective and have a much lower false positive ratio.

Thank your adult industry brotherin'.

ok, here is the scenario that I can see

I have a client, call him Bob...he emails me that he wants work done...ok, great...I tell him to send me emails with all the info I need..he send 4-5 emails, so I respond to those 4-5 emails rather quickly

here is what happens:
email 1 goes through, he gets it

email 2 and 3 get flagged cause they came in too quick and don't get delivered because I have xxx in the domain name...so, the spam protection is saying "shit, xxx in the email address and multiple emails VERY quickly, it MUST be spam".....

emails 4 and 5 aren't even considered to go through and now my email address is classified as spam

Ahh, I found the problem right there! It's not that you emailed too quickly, or that your domain name had xxx in it...

Bob found out you love the cock and he's afraid you'll want a piece.

Sorry, didn't mean to expose you. I find it extremely sad that I have to send mail from gmail more then I send mail from my work email to business contacts.

Guys, we work in PORN, it makes sense that those with a clue are using PORN RELATED DOMAINS to email you with, perhaps you might want to make sure that email gets to you if you want the business to get done.

Or do we all need happyhappyflowers.com email addresses to email for biz?

I am glad to see I am not alone in this...I thought I was going crazy for a week or so...

just thought I would bump this

darksoul · 06-17-2007, 04:35 AM

my spam filters are "insane" but they don't make decisions based
on the domain name.
So what if I work in adult ? doesn't mean I have to waste my time filtering spam.

are they on the server level? and if so, do you review the caught spam? if not, I guarantee you have lost business

I can't tell you the amount of people that have lost my business because they can't configure something as easy as a local spam filter (not directed at you, that was directed at the idiots that just installed the spam filters and let them be)

spam filtering should be done on the local level in your email software, when it is done on the server level too much shit can go wrong, especially in the adult industry

Yes its at server level, and yes I review the caught spam, it goes into a spam account which is checked from time to time and I have 0 false positives so far
so your guarantee is void.

I think your beef is with people that don't configure them correctly be it server level or local level.

StuartD · 06-17-2007, 05:01 AM

I use Thunderbird's junk filters... is accurate 99% of the time. So I still check for that elusive 1% that gets caught or sneaks through.

I'd never stop email at the server level because I'd never know what is and isn't being done with emails that I should be getting.
