[Elecraft] Please do not use Earthlink's spam blocker

[Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft]

We are seeing an increasing number of people using Earthlink's SPAM Blocker 
option for receiving email from the Elecraft email list and others. 
Unfortunately SPAM Blocker replies with an email to the sender asking them to 
reply. This does not work with an email list as it requires a response from 
the original sender for every list user (we have almost 1700) who uses Spam 
Blocker. Imagine making a posting and getting 100+ emails in response asking 
you to reply and confirm your identity! (Sounds like more SPAM to me.. ;-)

We are also getting overloaded by SPAM Blocker responses from customers we 
email directly from Elecraft. We are getting way too many automated responses 
asking for confirmation and due to the high volume of email we receive, we can 
not do this. As a result the customer using SPAM Blocker may not get our 
shipping confirmation, customer service response emails etc.

If you have enabled SPAM Blocker, please remove it, or at least try to find a 
way to add any sender @elecraft.com to your 'accept' list.

You must totally disable it if you want to receive Elecraft list email to your 
account as each list posting will show a return address to the original poster.

I am very sensitive to the need to manage SPAM emails. I get over 300-400 SPAM 
emails a day to my eric@elecraft.com mail box and must use extensive filtering 
to move most of it to a SPAM folder for later review. Unfortunately SPAM 
Blocker is not the solution for those who want to read email lists. There are 
other anti SPAM solutions that will catch 99% of SPAM email and will not 
overburden email senders.
