Canada.com or Spam.com 

For those of you who have email accounts on Canada.com, it appears they have moved to a better more user friendly system. It looks good, and so far for me it works good.

But the one thing I notice is that I get five or six times more spam. With their old system I used to get from several a day to eight or ten spam type emails. With the new system this has increased to twenty or forty spam emails a day.

Granted I am using the free portion of their service, and there are filters that can be set up to help with this problem. However in the old system I found that if you filter each spam email you get, the filter system gets filled up and does not do an effective job anymore.

I have several email address for different purposes. However this one seems to collect more unsolicited emails than any other since they upgraded it. And to use the filter system you have to type in each individual rule.

According to their introductory page, they are still in the process of upgrading and refining it. Lets hope this will be corrected. Of all the email  eh-ds, Canada.com has a certain ring to it.
