Thread: Spam Filters. ISP based email is dying.

Recently my school made the ridiculous decision to switch from internal, generally spam free (unless internship and job opportunity emials are spam, it has that in spades) to GMAIL...

Ever since I haven't been able to properly check my mail since.

First thing, they kept the old web servers up without explicitly saying that it's just a dummy account.

second thing the g-mail naturally dumps school-related e-mails in the junk mail, so you have to manually de-filter it. While also manually filtering the spam that makes it through

third thing is that now all my e-mails are going back to the old account for no reason, so the G-mail account is rendered inactive now. I really need to complain about this because most of my course notifications are through e-mail.

Somone had the brilliant idea that they could save money by 'outsourcing' their email... Because yeah, like a school shouldnt employ its own students in performign actual real world tasks. I tried to explain that one to the director of an electricians school when they hired an outside electrician to rewire a hallway. I was flbergasted, I woudl never hire students from that school if the school itself has no confidence in their ability to do teh work.
