offshore Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Maybe someone more knowleagable can help me here. Until recently, I have been receiving subscribed newsletters, from a number of different sites. A couple of weeks back, I noticed, they had stopped. I thought of a possible change on my spam filters,(IE, Outlook Express, or even my AV programme) and checked, but these were all still OK. I finally contacted one of the organisations who send these newsletters, to be told that the problem was my ISP, who has recently increased its spam settings. Contacted them ( Bigpond here in Oz.. who are our major national telephone Co), and I am just getting the run around, and no real answers. (mainly auto replies) I know I should just move to another ISP, but that is just a HUGE hassle... changing email addys... multiple forums etc etc.... Seriously it would probably be a good days work to totally tidy up and change eveything! So the question is, can I do anything about the level of mail I receive thru their server? Any/all advice appreciated. Offshore (IT noob) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Set up a gmail account and have your newsletters directed there instead; nothing you can do if Bigpond is bouncing the emails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 A further thought; it is possible to relay the newsletters through the gmail account, so that they land in your normal Bigpond inbox. But that still involves opening a gmail account, and changing the email address for the newsletter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8o8 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 i agree, use gmail to retrieve your bigpond email as well so all your email is located in the one place. then start updating your email with the various forums. eventaully you will ween yourself away from bigpond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasTTaP Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 yep, gmail is the answer, if it ever happens with gmail, simply add the sender's email to gmail's adress book. Redirecting from gmail to your normal email could do, but my advice would be to switch definitely to gmail, best webmail ever, has POP and IMAP protocols, what else could you ask for? Bit of warning though, if you're an americain citizen, privacy could be a concern... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
