Hello David,
Thank you for your persistence in pointing out the facts that
are still missing from PEP's postings. I've been on this list
for well over a year now.
PEP keeps on butting in with advertisements that are at least
borderline spam. There are plenty of other companies out there
doing the same sort of upgrades which don't advertise on this
list. What makes PEP annoying is that they are not at the technical
level that this list is generally at. They, or Michael, are not
responding to very clear requests to back their claims.
Thank you, David, for not giving up!
PEP, why don't you answer David's questions? It would make
my life easier as well, because I really don't want to have to
figure out how spam filters work with Microsoft Exchange...
