I stopped using CityWest e-mail several years ago. I prefer to use gmail, Gmail has much greater storage (7.5+ GB) and much better spam filtering.

Ah don’t worry, they’ll no doubt have another system outage soon! So you wont see any spam for a while.

Just be glad you can check your email at all. I hear citywest is run by chimps with typewriters. Which answers the question someone asked about why the city website cant be updated for things like fireworks cancellations.

Ah… I guess they asked around on the golf course and no one saw any need for working Spam Filters…

Maybe they got sick of the calls from ppl whining their friends important email didn’t get there, can’t tell you when they claim to have sent it, take half an hour to tell you @whatdomaintheirfriendissendingbecauseit’sobviouslyyourfaultshittylittlesenderfromsmalltownwhereanyonefromfivemilesawayisobviouslysomuchbetter.com, doesn’t believe hotmail or yahoo servers ever get blacklisted, insists its up to you to straighten it out with sorbs and wants you to whitelist @spam.com.
Maybe.
