Hi Gustav, Thanks for the link. This is the reason I don't use gmail for anything other than hobbies. Then I get targeted ads that I may actually use. Although I rarely click on an ad, sometimes they're helpful. Facebook does the same thing. I once typed in something on facebook about my asparagus patch and I immediately had an ad placed for some page about asparagus. In that case it was helpful, albeit a bit disconcerting how quickly it happened! Makes one wonder, could we use this email scanning algorithm against itself; or for ourselves? Is this a way a person could pump up their online "resume". Send emails with "over the top" bragging about everything they've accomplished in life. Never write anything other than ultra-positive messages. Maybe have all their friends send them emails praising them about how "great they are". Just in the attempt to affect google's impression of the person. I wonder what effect that would have :-) John B -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 4:34 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] SPAM filter for Windows SBS 2011 Hi John and Stuart > you could just as well get a corporate account at Google mail .. I think I'll reconsider that advice ... at least advice to think twice. http://www.scroogled.com/ <quote> Even if you’re not a Gmail user, Google still goes through your personal email sent to [and from] Gmail .. </quote> Scary. Outlook.com claims to be different, but we only have MS' words for it. /gustav -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] På vegne af Gustav Brock Sendt: 12. februar 2013 15:28 Til: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Emne: Re: [dba-Tech] SPAM filter for Windows SBS 2011 Hi John and Stuart One severe issue with such services is, that you don't know who else might be reading your incoming mail. I know, e-mail is like open postcards but still. If you (your client) is ready to take the step anyway, you could just as well get a corporate account at Google mail or Microsoft, move your primary MX to that, and set automatic forwarding of all mail to your local mail server. This way you will even have automatic archiving of all incoming mail at no added cost. /gustav -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Stuart McLachlan Sent: Monday, February 11, 2013 4:32 PM To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] SPAM filter for Windows SBS 2011 Depending on your cicrumstances, onlline filtering may the the way to go.
