Sigh. Another aol account with a weak password. For anyone using aol or yahoo for email. Make sure you have a decent password, unless you want malware, or in this case a link to a viagra site, to be sent from your account, to everyone in your address book. Time to filter all posts from Mr. Browning....

I'll go one step further: avoid freemail providers if you can. There are serious issues with the quality of services from Yahoo and Hotmail (and have been for a decade), AOL dismissed its entire senior postmaster team last year, and Google seems much more focused on pushing its social network initiatives than dealing with spam/phishing conducting from and via its services. Remember, you are NOT the customer of these operations: you are the product. You'll likely do much better with an inexpensive but capably-managed email account elsewhere. ---rsk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

I've been using them for years, and am quite pleased with the POP/SMTP service (also have web based interface as part of the service). Accounts have never been "hijacked" in any way. Getting one's own domain name, and using it to host an email account is another good option (I do this as well; my "willkayakforfood.net" account, hosted by GoDaddy). This has become quite an easy and affordable option, with the bonus of personally chosen custom naming/options). No need for Hotmail, MSN, Yahoo, Google (gmail), etc. (all represent annoying--at the very least--privacy concerns as well). Just so there's some paddling content in this post... I'll be out for a long afternoon/evening paddle shortly. :) -- Melissa *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

In fact I recommend this (or something similar) for anyone using Exchange as their in-office email box. I can use bluehost as a domain forwarder and then set the office router to deny any SMTP from all but bluehost. This makes me feel much better about having Exchange on the Internet. It should be noted that recently several large domain hosting services have been cracked with several thousand domains and web pages defaced and/or deleted. Nothing is 100% secure any more. I have www.nwkayaking.net on bluehost (for the past 2 years) with good success.
