Tired of Being Screwed By Cox (no pun intended)

\_ SMTP quoth Kathleen Hudson on 6/17/2003 22:19 as having spake thusly:
\_
\_ Azipans My friend called Cox to Complain they told her to follow these
\_ directions and she is able to use her other e mail accounts.
\_ 
\_ 
\_ Kathleen,
\_
\_ 	If you want, you can tell people in your email list that if
\_ they have Cox as their provider but use another email server that
\_ is not web-based, all they need to do is to change their settings
\_ [... hashed over in plug-discuss already ...]
\_
\_ 	Cox considers any email with over 25 recipients to be "spam",
\_ unless you have a business Cox account (which is super expensive).
\_ The way to get around it is to use a web-based email server so that
\_ you are creating the email on the web, not on your desktop - then
\_ the web sends out the email, not Cox.  [...]
\_
\_ 	(Cox also will keep an eye on how may you send out in a day -
\_ so you can't get around the over-25 rule by sending out 100 emails
\_ with each email going to say 20 people.  Because they want you to
\_ pay for a business account.)
