Hi Helen, There is so much spam on the internet that we currently have 3 mail servers doing nothing but sorting through the junkmail flood. Mail is being delivered as quickly as possible but occasionally, one of the servers gets bogged down and will hold onto the cleared mail an extra day or so before releasing it. We're still tweaking. Junkmail creators are very sophisticated these days. They are sending mail that looks like legitimate email but with piles of junk words; the desire is to mess up our filters that self-teach themselves to recognize keywords that identify junkmail. By causing our self-teaching filters to grab all words, they are, in effect, negating our filters. This, unfortunately, is a problem facing all providers. Some providers get around this by making their filters tougher to bypass but they may end up, inadvertantly, deleting some legitimate email in the process. CCN errs on the side of caution. We apologize for the delays in some of your mail. CCN Help ----------------------- hjones wrote: I can cope with the temporary spam that I'm still getting and have to delete with every download, but the worst problem is that some of my emails are still 2 and 3 days late. The delays are so long that in some cases I assumed the missing emails had been deleted or perhaps the person wasn't ever going to reply at all (the ones I know about anyway) and then they finally show up sometimes after I needed them. . Can you give me some idea when this problem will end? Thanks, Helen 469-6594 hjones@chebucto.ns.ca
