[Rockhounds] possibly OT or maybe not OT - spam filters

[linda at middleearthminerals.com]

I'd like to reply to Tim's comment that the "aggressive spam filters" (I
agree with the word "aggressive"!) "catch a miniscule % of emails that
aren't spam" (don't quite agree with "miniscule").  This might seem somewhat
off-rock-topics, but for those of you who order rocks from websites, it
might explain why some dealers seem to ignore your orders.  (Hint - check
your junk/spam folders frequently.)

Starting about a year and a half ago, over 1/2 of the emails I send from
"mybusiness dot com" are treated as spam by gmail, aol, hotmail, etc,
depending, I believe, on how the recipient's filters are set up.  But one
recipient, an engineering professor who decided to experiment on these
emails, was never able to find any setting for her gmail that would allow my
emails to come through more than once.  Every business owner that I know has
had the same problem if they use something like "mybusiness dot com".  I've
had to switch most of my correspondence to a gmail account - if you can't
beat 'em, join, 'em, I guess.  Tim, I'm surprised you haven't noticed this
in your business email?  If you have a trick, I'd love to hear it!

Anyway, mostly a warning for people to check their junk/spam folders, and I
admit, a bit of a rant about how big companies (almost invisibly) protect
their playing field from us little guys, sigh.

Linda

Nospam was a joke to myself when spamming was rampant and email filters
couldn't keep up. So I'm not sure it did anything, but I didn't feel like
changing it back. My hosting service has aggressive spam filters now and I
know they catch a miniscule % of emails that aren't spam :D

Tim

How is the "nospam" working out.  I am looking for a better filter.

One of them worked for me. Yes it had lots of ads but the article is buried
there somewhere. I wonder if these websites even care if people can read the
content, all they want is the ad revenue.

All pay walls and Ford & Exxon stock info, Kreigh. I'm sure there's a
fascinating article somewhere in there.

U.S. Lithium Boom

MAGNOLIA, Ark.-Slipping a handgun into his belt, the mayor of this small
town hopped out of his 1995 Ford
> pickup
and went in search of further evidence of a new energy boom.

On the other side of a freshly painted gate, Mayor Parnell Vann pointed out
a squat blue spire of valves, bolts and pressure gauges attached to a
long-dormant well-a telltale sign someone means to bring it back to life.
On the thick-wooded back roads, crisscrossing fields where oil drillers gave
up long ago, Vann found two more similar wells that day.

These days, companies in the area aren't looking to find more oil-they are
instead prospecting for lithium, a metal that is increasingly prized around
the world as an essential ingredient in electric-vehicle batteries.

If the U.S. is to ease its dependence for lithium on other countries such as
China, it may need this quiet corner of southwest Arkansas to lead the way.

Exxon Mobil
> XOM
1.24%increase;
green up pointing triangle
>, a new player in
the hunt for U.S. lithium, is planning to build one of the world's largest
lithium processing facilities not far from Magnolia, with a capacity to
produce 75,000 to 100,000 metric tons of lithium a year, according to people
familiar with the matter.

At that scale, it would equate to about 15% of all finished lithium produced
globally last year, according to one analyst.
