FYI:

Having an Earthlink account powered thru Comcast, all my e-mails that are not in my personal address book, get stopped by the Spam filter and are easily found in my Spam Folder. Thus, all friends or colleagues that send e-mails to Tweeters automatically are received in my "in-box", all other Tweeter e-mails go straight to Spam. I do have "Tweeters" in my address book, so it seems that the Spam filter is based on the sender to Tweeters and not on the fact that Tweeters is the sender to me (does that make sense?).

I like it this way because it easily sorts my in-coming messages. That way I can pick and choose based on importance of the message and how much time I have. This is especially helpful if I am away for a week or more. That way I am not inundated by hundreds of Tweeter postings in my e-mail box. When I have spare time, I can easily go to the Spam folder and read what I find most interesting, and delete the rest.

Hi! I've had several responses to my question about Tweeter's postings coming up in my Spam mail: some suggesting that I might be able to correct the problem, and others also asking why again .. . .
I just wish it wouldn't happen, for whatever reason . . . we all have security programs and yet these messages are coming through Tweeters? or from where ? since our firewalls and security programs don't show any breach?
I confess I don't understand why all of our safeguards againt SPAM--or indeed against some hacker's virus--aren't effective!! Surely, an anti-hacker should be able to anti-hack a hacker any day of the week!!!! I mean, what are our techies for??? Love, Murray
