[Tfug] ISP for Qwest DSL

[Jon]

Oops, I did fail to address his other question about spam. See, I was
half asleep. I think only a few local providers have a system in place to
combat spam. DakotaCom doesn't currently have anything in public use yet.
We have been using/testing stuff internally for about 4-5 months without
problems.

Hopefully we'll have the same system we're using internally available to
our customers sometime this year.

Your posting indicated you are having a problem with spam and I noticed that this issue hadn't really been addressed. When you call the other providers here in town you should ask if any of them perform some type of spam filtering. If the ISP doesn't you are still going to have the problem. After you switch you'll be safe for a while, but as time goes by the spammers will find you again and little by little you'll begin to receive those wonderfully annoying emails again. If none of the ISP's perform any type of filtering you may need to invest in a filter of your own.
