CloudEngineer Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Just received my weekly Michaels's Minutes spam e-mail from Lindows and found something interesting... Following are excerpts from Michael Robertson's latest Michael's Minute. After last week's Minute, I got some disturbing reports that subscribers on MSN were unable to receive mail from Lindows.com. Readers told me that Microsoft has begun labeling my Michael's Minutes as 'spam' to users who have @msn.com accounts. This immediately files incoming messages into a "Junk" folder without ever giving the subscriber the chance to read it. Since Michael's Minute is sent only to people who visit Lindows.com and ask for a subscription - it is never sent unsolicited - this interferes with our business. Perhaps this is just an innocent error on Microsoft's part, but that's hard to believe given Microsoft's past. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and has been twice convicted of being a duck in Federal Court - even the biggest skeptics must concede that it's a duck. Many of you probably remember Microsoft's legal troubles related to blocking Blue Mountain Arts greeting card emails. Source: WinBeta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted January 23, 2003 Administrators Share Posted January 23, 2003 Thats Bullpoop. Even MSN promotional mail (news from MSN groups too) lands in my Junk Folder because I have it set to High and recently exclusive. Sounds like another attempt to ride off Microsoft PR Those shagwits should get a clue and do something original because they are becoming a waste of space.
