| Subject: | Email and Telephone Security |
Bob has expressed his frustration regarding phone security, especially landlines.
By this time I would have surrendered mine to the spammers and phishers except
for purchasing a "CPR Callblocker V5000." At last count there are almost 400 numbers
who will never bother me again. This has not solved the problem, but I
used to get >20 calls a day and not I get two or three. Simple and cheap.
If anyone is searching for a good Email server, I have settled on Thunderbird.
(After a dozen less-than-great email programs...) I recommend it.
I also keep my ISP informed regarding this spam and email nonsense. I regularly
send them my collection of fake email to Phishing@Charter.net. Your ISP might
have a similar interest.

And more to the point, call your legislators, both state and federal, and
let them know how you feel about 'regulatory' agencies (note the quotes)
regulating consumers into helplessness instead of doing their job of
regulating the utilities' ability to dump this garbage on us. Don't believe
the line about comm companies being unable to stop it. They know where the
spam originates; they just have no interest in stopping it, because our
'regulators' have abdicated their duties in the interest of their political
bosses' greed for 'political contributions' (euphemism for bribes).
Finally, know who, and *what* you're voting for. The inevitable endgame of
pure, unrestrained capitalism (supported by bought & paid-for 'regulation')
is feudalism.
Sorry; rant mode off...

Another data point on phone communication and email servers...
Gmail does a better job of spam blocking than any add on I've experimented
with... Tbird, outlook, yahoo, eurdora... etc.
I gave up my landline in favor of cell only. My provider T-mobile coupled
with a Samsung android phone alerts to spam calls with near 100% accuracy.
It's failure mode is to mis-identify a qualified caller as spam.
My story... and it works for me.

Good point about Gmail's spam filtering. And since Gmail supports both POP
and IMAP, it is perfectly reasonable to use Gmail (or G Suite) on the
server side and Eudora or Thunderbird or whatever on the client side.

Charlie, thanks for saying this. Too many people I know think "private
companies are good, government regulators are bad." This black and white
thinking is one of the reasons we are where we are today.

Great, if you live in a major metro area. But 10 miles out of town on a
4 lane major thoroughfare, and I can get 3Mbit DSL (sometimes), and cell
service in the house is a lot like a corded phone; you're 'tethered' to
a location near a window or it doesn't work. Meanwhile, one of our
Senators just allocated $25million in broadband grant money to a state
hospital to install a replacement heliport.
