My Internet Service & Online Email Server:
'SBC Yahoo DSL' provides an anti-spam feature called
SPAM Guard+ which automatically detects suspected SPAM and routes it to the Bulk Email folder, and also learns (over time) what you consider to be Spam (or not), and filters future email from that sender to the appropriate folder. OK, this all seems to be working 97% of the time, but because 3% of the time, legitimate incoming email gets automatically misrouted to my bulk email folder, I end up having to spend 5-10 minutes every day having to review all bulk email entries (often up to 100) to make sure a legitimate email didn't accidentally arrive here. and If I forget to check the bulk email folder daily, it can (over a few days) contain 100, 200, 400, 500+ entries.

In addition to this, there's always new SPAM (missed by the SPAM Guard program) arriving daily in my email server IN-BOX, which means having to review them individually, tagging SPAM entries. All this can sometimes take up 5-10 minutes a day. Curious "HOW MUCH time daily others here are having to spend reviewing your SPAM (Bulk Email) folder for "legitimate email" that gets misrouted there, as well as time spent tagging (deleting) SPAM which arrives in your INBOX. Thanks. Scott
