Speaking of SPAM, this may be a little off-topic, but it does peratain
to computer collecting and restoration, in that e-mail is somewhat
necessary for such activities. Have many others found that their ISPs
are blocking entire domains and that legitimate e-mail is refused
(bounced) with a "go away" error message? I'm all for limiting SPAM,
but the blocking out of entire domains of legitimate ISPs is as bad as
the SPAM; it's equivalent to the telephone company blocking out
incoming calls from entire area codes, or regions, because of
telemarketers and seems to defeat the purpose of e-mail, or the
post-office banning the delivery of mail from entire zip-codes or
regions.
