Well, F em.
The spam/virus filter I've been using, Cannit by Roaring Penguin got purchased by another company, AppRiver.
It seems like it is going the way of typical purchases.

Started with a filter in 1990 called RAV. It worked great, then RAV was bought by Microsoft an shut down.
Moved to Mail Foundry which guaranteed less than one in a million false positives. Worked great, bought and by Barracuda, who were much worse.
Moved to Cannit. Fantastic. Now they have been bought by AppRiver.

Move to AppRiver this weekend. There were 80 messages in my AppRiver quarantine email this morning. Usually never have more than 1, or 2, 8 at the most. And all of them had either F$$kbuddy, or Hookup in the subject and only 1 was from USA.

Guess I am going to have to waist time finding a new spam filter, arrrrgh.

Seriously thinking about putting up a go-fund-me/web site to collect donations to place ads on TV. Kinda a like the TRUTH cigarette PSAs, Only it would be DON'T CLICK anti-spam PSAs. Am sure the web site would have to be like Fort Knox with all the spammers trying to take it down. Especially once the PSAs strart running on TV. Another problem is with so many cord cutters, not sure how effective they would be.

Whatta you guys think?
