Riverside Internet Services

Riverside Newsletter October, 2005 Edition

Riverside Internet's e-mail spam filters have blocking many comcast.net and hotmail.com addresses due to the fact that both of these domains are on many RBL's. Real-time Spam Black Lists (RBL) are one of the factors that are used in our spam filtering system. We a have made an adjustment in the scoring for the rulesets that were responsible for tripping the filters on messages from those two domains. If you have specific email addresses from those domains that still don't make it through, let us know what they are and we can whitelist them. We cannot just allow all mail from Hotmail and Comcast because doing so would result in a huge amount of SPAM being accepted.
