Spam - and nonspam -filtering

As a long-time supporter of GreenNet (I knew Mitra!) I have to say that I don't think it's good enough for Greennet to use spam filtering which results in non-spam messages being rejected, and then to say that it's for others to fix their servers. I have experienced important messages being rejected, and this creates serious problems especially when one doesn't know that one was supposed to have received a message at all. Further, the delays caused by messages being rejected - even when they do eventually get through - seem to me at times to be serious, and to cause considerable problems. I think this filtering is ahead of its time, and GN should consider dropping it, encouraging all of us to set up our own filters, and coming back to it when the world out there has caught up. Certainly, I shall have to switch ISPs if the current situation continues - something I'd hate to do as I have the highest regard for GreenNet and the work that it does, and especially for the support staff who are always very helpful. But I simply can't risk this sort of thing happening repeatedly.
