SpamCop

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I was taking a look at my email using Mailwasher last night, and I noticed that the blacklist from SpamCop marked just about every email out there as spam. Even the mails from mailing lists that I belong to! Nothing like having to go through and unmark every email from the bloggerpro list, among others. I can set Mailwasher to not use the SpamCop list, so it’s not a big deal but I assume lots of ISP’s and users are using SpamCop and probably aren’t getting any email. 🙂

    Had another meetup with a fellow blogger this evening. This time Angela and I ventured out to Easton for dinner, good conversation and a few laughs with Andy and his wife, Kristen.

  • Gmail Users Losing POP and Getting AI Whether We Like It or Not

    Personally, I’ve moved away from using the POP feature in Gmail to import mail from other email accounts into Gmail to take advantage of the spam protection. Since I host my own sites and my own M365 tenant, much of that spam protection lives elsewhere for me, but I can understand why others have continued to use it. 

    But it’s going away. 

    Never fear, though. In 2026, Google wouldn’t dare let you have a product that doesn’t feature AI. So, we’re all getting the AI Inbox, and you will have to opt out if you do not want an AI-generated list of to-dos and summaries instead of just reading your email.

    Got the AV definitons rolled back on my machine and the AV working again. The Live Update reports no new updates are available, which makes me think that either the update file that I grabbed yesterday is bad, or is incompatible with our older version of the software. Oh well, it’s probably about time we…

    My attempt to install Red Hat 8.0 did not go as planned. While the iso downloaded OK, and the MD5 Checksum matched, apparently the CD I burned for Disk 1 was bad. After a number of attempts to install either hung or spit back an error about being unable to read such and such, I…

    Microsoft Upgrades Hotmail I noticed it this morning, and I like it, for the most part. They did get rid of one thing that I used to really like about hotmail though, the stuff at the top of a message (delete, next, previous, move, etc.) used to show up at the bottom of a message…
