Hackers and Ne’er do wells • Computers try to hack into the site every day • Email spam has risen over the year and is now estimated to be much greater than legitimate email traffic • Service providers are tasked with limiting the proliferation of spam – Service providers frequently block our legitimate messages as they try to limit spam through automatic filtering. BT is currently doing this • More than 3hrs of technical support discussion with BT (India) ended with “we do not have access to the filtering of mail, that is a different department” . A department that they cannot connect me to. So case closed • We have now separated out BT addresses in our database and will send out a different format newsletter with a single link in it. • However despite this……… 28/04/2016 Prestwood Village Association 16
