Verizon DSL just dropped their ~760 KB/sec download speed to
$14.95/month. For those dial-up customers, including the fake
MW out of the Virginia/DC metro area, who live in a DSL-served
area, there is now no excuse to remain with dial up.

I wish for a day that I don't see spam with Verizon routing in it...

Its like having our own bit of China/Korea/Japan/Brazil/Nigeria right
here at home...

And you are confident that those headers weren't spoofed?

Spam is a part of life online these days. A good spam filter, like a good
killfile, goes a long way in reducing stress.

I've had a few that came from Verizon servers, the majority is from
their clients direct:

Received: from pool-70-105-16-229.rich.east.verizon.net ([70.105.16.229])
From: "Amado Holloway"
Return-Path:

Verizon now verifies all incoming mail, shame my "major provider" email
accounts don't do the same...

Charter and Adelphia outpaced Verizon today, a rare day...

I hate to go OT on this, but I have to admit that a good spam filter would
increase my quality of life. g What do you use?

I'm running OE.

Personally, I don't use OE, but I have read some good things about this
free spam filter for OE:

Oh, you also might want to consider using Mozilla's free email
client/newsreader, called Thunderbird, which is like OE on steroids. It
contains a spam filter that is always learning. Thunderbird has a very
similar feel to OE so the learning curve is very small, yet the rewards
much greater.

I installed T-bird on my father-in-law's PC and the one-time OE user and PC
novice was a quick convert.
