I've been working on a checklist at work for the operations (mostly for myself since I'm learning the new job). I logged into my Yahoo account, and sent it to myself (same e-mail account). Whereupon I let it sit til I got home from work.

Well, I get home, and I can't find it anywhere in my inbox. As a last ditch effort, I check my spam box. Lo and behold, there it was, filtered with the rest of the spam that actually got caught. Now two things come to mind when I see that.

1. I sent it to myself. From my e-mail account to the same e-mail account and I pretty much told myself I'm spamming myself.

2. How many of my e-mails are getting caught by the filter on other peoples computers.

I know Yahoo! has a learning spam filter that learns more as you mark more mail as spam, but the subject line was just "Stuff" since I had little time before I left work.

Everyone has been telling me to go to G-mail, but I've been going over the reviews, and it doesn't matter which e-mail you go through, no matter what there will be what the industry considers a "false positive". I've had my e-mail address since 98 (thus the 98 at the end of it) and I've never had any problems with them to date. Filter does its job most of the time (still have to catch a few that get through, but oh well) and rarely I get the false positives.

Also, in case you're wondering why I'm starting to get all techy on my journals, lately at work I've been reading articles on PCMech.com, PCWorld.com and PCMag.com. All my journals do is apply them to my real life situations.

Most recent string of articles just happened to be spam blocker/filters and I got in a situation where it pertained to me more than I thought. (I am spam, remember). Just was amusing to me is all. But now that I have a better understanding as to why I prolly got caught up in the spam filter, I can remedy that next time I have to e-mail myself an attachment from work to myself. LOL

Til next time.
