Email Forwarding Speed

[Mark]

Hello

I have been a subscriber of spamcop for a few years -- I have lately noticed that the mail takes some time to go through the filtering, and I want to know if there is something I can do to speed up the process. It used to be minutes, but now it is hours.

I would prefer to have a ticketing system inside the webmail interface instead of having to cloak identities in this newsgroup.

Your complaint is not universal. A set of headers to demonstrate
that it is a SpamCop e-mail problem would help.

Why not compare notes with other e-mail account holders in
the Forum?

Hi WazoO

I also have high cholesterol, and though I have shared that health concern with other people who are coaching me on my diet, I have not assumed that the condition is universal. I asked about my own settings, and one thing I decided to do today was remove all the whitelisted addresses to see if that had an effect -- I had over 13 pages, including some that I did not know anymore and also people I have not corresponded with in years. I also cleaned out all the blacklisted except one which I know is still active. Like cholesterol, both lists grow over the years.

In any case, the webmail blacklist was more dark gray than black because some would sneak through, but I would report them too.

Historical average processing time is a collectable number, and I have hundreds of emails to document processing times since I joined on May 3, 2001. I'm even looking at some test emails I sent myself in May 2001, and there are time headers there.

I have sent some new tests from several emails and will see what types of numeric results I get. I have both ISP mail and also web-hosting-based mail and there are other combinations I can try on my side. What makes my new tests different though is sending simultaneously to the non-filtered ISP email and the filtered spamcop email, which is doubtless an apples-for-apples comparison to factor out network load.

What I know is that an email I sent to my ISP (bellsouth) takes 18 seconds (just now) but I'm waiting for the spamcop email.

I won't be sharing headers in this public newsgroup but I will post again when I have statistics.

Other subscribers might provide insight on this newsgroup.

Have you thought about popping your mail instead of having it forwarded?
Forwarding takes place periodically and if the @spamcop/cesmail servers have
a problem when they try to forward they will try again but at longer time
intervals.

Hi Ellen

That information is good and important.

What interesting reading this makes.... NOT.

Hi Steve

Actually, I added spamcop as a direct POP and I see no evidence that forwarding to Bellsouth as an ISP is making a difference in my case.

I might believe that some smaller ISPs may not be able to receive email, but it's harder to believe for Bellsouth.

Theories can be tested with experiments.

Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear
bright until you hear them speak.

Whatever. Just pointed out that SpamCop filtered e-mail account
support has been identified as being handld in the Forum by the
guy that owns and tuns the hardware hosting these newsgroups,
the Forum, and the e-mail accounts. If you'll notice, traffic in this
newsgroup is very sparse. You will get a much better response
and / or comparisons by posting your query where there is traffic.

Hi WazoO

You may be right -- traffic all around spamcop may be slow. My tests continue, results posted later.
