Update on KnowSpam: First off, I just had an email from them wondering if I was still nervous (see below, which he had read! Yes you read that right — he read my web site) and did I have any questions etc. Now THAT’s service!

The answer from me? Nope – apparently my assessment that it was just an incredibly slow email Sunday was correct. Sunday night mail started picking up and today things are getting towards normal numbers. I noticed some quite old emails arriving, so I’m thinking that there was a slowdown on the bigger ‘net somewhere during that time frame.

No one I know has had any problems contacting me and I’ve added a few people/lists/services as their emails turn up in the held mail category. I like that I get an email every four hours along the lines of: ‘you have some new held mail (or new unknown recipients) – here’s the sender’s email and the subject line in case you need to accept the email.’

Gives me a lot of control in a reasonable way and with a very nice interface. If I go to the held mail page it lists the same info — date/time/sender/subject — and I can accept or decline each one or use check boxes and decline the checked emails. How cool and easy is that?

So I fired back an email right away – nope, I’m not nervous anymore. And where do I go to sign up for a year?
