Spam?

Between Dave Troy and Alec Saunders

Hey Dave,

Is there a shortmail spam filter available? Ironically, the only non-spam email I've received since signing up has been your welcome mail.

Best, A

You need to share your address and you'll get more mail! Yes, we have a robust spam firewalling solution in place, but we're finding that users with more common names are getting attacked more. We're ramping that up further in the next couple of days and believe we can make spam go away entirely.

Key point: spam management on 500 character payloads is exponentially easier than on arbitrarily sized messages.

Hehehe.... on that topic, are there plans to do iMap? I'd like to see my shortmail come into Outlook.

Already supported. Go to Account->Advanced! :)

Cool! This is coming from Outlook. Yay!

Dave Troy posted

Yep! We spent a lot of time on that. Wrote the IMAP stack from scratch. Expect improvements; it's very 1.0 right now. :)

Can't seem to send from my iPhone. Ideas?
