ATTN: Earthlink mail users

I get these kinds of messages when Earthlink users try to sign up or request a new password. The system tries to send them a passord and then instead of actually sending it to them I get this:

_____________________________________

I apologize for this automatic reply to your email.

To control spam, I now allow incoming messages only from senders I have approved beforehand.

If you would like to be added to my list of approved senders, please fill out the short request form (see link below). Once I approve you, I will receive your original message in my inbox. You do not need to resend your message. I apologize for this one-time inconvenience.

Click the link below to fill out the request:

I don't click on those things - it's just more spam to add to MY inbox! :eek:) If you've registered or requested a new password and are expecting an email from finerkitchens.com, then you have to whitelist mail from finerkitchens.com.

Sorry. :eek:)

 
No problem. :eek:) Sorry if that was confusing...

You're not supposed to be able to click it. It's an example of the link that is found in the e-mail that keeps getting sent to me by Earthlink's system. They want ME to click it, in order for FK's emails to reach the person. But I'm against that on principal. First, Earthlink is just sending more junk through the lines that way, and second, if everyone had a system in place like Earthlink's, then it would be impossible to email anyone. I'm just not going to do it. If people want to have ridiculous spam-control measures in place like that, then when they sign up for things then they need to remember to put the company in their white list and not require others to click on special links to be allowed to send them the message that they specifically requested in the first place! Bah.

Okay, this has nothing to do with cooking and recipes and I've just gone off on a rant. LOL I'm done ranting now. ;o)
