Comment Re:ISP Trying to make money from SPAM filters (Score 1) 306
Hi !
Well, i know of a few isp's who also have this service, and let the users pay for them...
From their site: "The price for the extra mailbox space, web e-mail, web calendar, anti-virus scanning and anti-spam scanning will be an additional $1 per account per 30 day billing cycle"
OK.. you say it's crap... But do remind that the isp (probably a small one as you stated) Also has to pay for it's (enterprise) Anti-Virus licences, dat update files, extra hard drive space and extra processor load...
And this goes especially expensive on the anti-virus service part.
I work at an isp where we have these services, exept for the anti-virus scan.
But we do the spam scanning for free, as a service to our customers, a thing every isp should do!!
