I agree about the xtra problems. I just received an email this morning on
my xtra account that was sent from another xtra member on Sept 29. Almost a
month later !!
I quite often see other peoples replies to posts hours before I see the
original.

Hey. It's not only Xtra (although I am not a fan nor a client). I dumped Paradise.net because they were losing my e-mails - and I can prove it. I'm still waiting for one I seent myself from another machine in June and one from my son in ChCh sent in May. I took out a Yahoo mail account so as to be sure I got all my mail and because I was sick of their "authentication" problems I joined Slingshot. Even they are having that problem occasionally but at least it only lasts a short time. I was talking to my son in Auckland Sunday before last and he was losing data on Jetstream so it's not only just the dial-ups that go pearshaped. One thing about paying for a domain is you get to move around looking for the perfect ISP relatively painlessly!

As for xtra's mail problems. They are attempting to implement a
spam/virus filtering system. This needs to
be a virtual AI system, and i doubt anyone there has the `nouse to
actually get it going. Unfortunately
it looks like clear/paradise will be following suit.

I think it depends on which way the wind is blowing.

Rex, I have Jetstream and my own mail server and it is still a problem, I'm
afraid. I applaud Xtra's efforts to kill spam (I get so many messages about
enlarging my anatomy I am starting to wonder what my wife is telling people)
but I'm not sure the hassle is worth it.
