In the past, I've emailed friends, and my first or second posting has

I have a friend who's email service sporadically bounces my email.
Why? Because I own my own domain, I use my hosting company's email
servers instead of my ISP's and a small number of their customers are
spammers. Whenever their spam gets above a certain threshold, her ISP
blocks any email access from those servers, and cuts us off. This is
why I dislike blacklists: they're just about guaranteed to produce at
least 99% false positives because they're just an exercise in throwing
the baby out with the bath water.
Well this is all fascinating to me. I'm not using a mail server, just
trying to keep the size of my Inbox down, since the more spam it gets
the fatter it gets as well....I will be looking into all possibilities
regarding this matter. I can now see that the "Allow In Just what I want
& Block All Others" is the more sensible way to go about it...instead of
trying to block what seems like millions of different email addresses
that sometimes have the same email in it.!!
