To the subject of this thread: this issue probably should not affect a business's decision if FastMail's system is appropriate or not to their needs, as the customer can turn it off and on (in addition the user can leave it on and do it on a per folder basis, because the user can set each folder separately as "spam learning" or not, and the user can completely take over the spam filtering system for their account and rebuild it using filtering rules). |

Is it off by default? I genuinely don't know as I wasn't the primary account holder. I know I didn't enable it on my individual account.

There's a check box under Settings/Filters and Rules/Spam Protection/Advanced. The option is to "Share spam with other companies fighting it." I don't recall ever making that selection, so I believe it is on by default. However, the description implies that it is only messages you mark as spam that will be shared with other companies.

I don't know what people think of jarland, or of you in this forum, but based on this one exchange, I don't see jarland doing anything wrong. All he did was share his exact knowledge, and I respect that. You asked whether he tried it with disabling the feature and he honestly didn't know. I see this as a positive exchange. I would have expected fastmail to potentially chime in on this and make it even better. The only thing that made it negative IMO was you personally attacking jarland for reasons unknown to me. He was NOT being unprofessional here. He was leaking some inside secrets. In fact, without small businesses like this sharing such information, you and me would never have the understanding that we do. Besides, we are in a small forum that's focused on email, this is right on par. This also wasn't a "Booo booo fastmail sucks" post. It was something that I think jarland is genuinely concerned about. Apologies if I'm committing some faux pas here. |

That was from almost 2 years ago and I'd like to think we've both moved on from that little exchange. We've both participated perfectly respectfully in several other threads. I wish jarland all the best and I hope his business thrives. This is a great forum and there's a wealth of thoughtful commentary here from many good folks. Cheers!
